5 S is TRANSFORMATION If we fail to improve 5 S, what makes us think that we can do anything else? On the other hand we know that if we can do 5 S, we can do anything. 5 S is fundamental, so it gives us the power to build out capabilities to meet the BIG CHALLENGES. That is why 5 S is transformational.
