5S is SEIRI (organize), SEITON (tidy up), SEISO (clean), SEIKETSU (clean), SHITSUKE (literacy). Because of its five contents of the Japanese Romanized Pinyin all to "S" at the beginning, so called 5S.

In fact, 5S originated from a Japanese way of disposal of household chores, in the Japanese people have been passed down for 200 years of history. The first two S's were: organizing and tidying up, mainly for "things" to be sorted and placed properly.

After World War II, Toyota introduced the concept into its internal management operations, and due to the increased demand and standard of corporate management, it added another 3 S's, resulting in the 5S activities that are widely practiced today. And quickly applied by various industries, is the most simple, the most basic, the most important, the most effective site management methods. The production sites of Japanese companies are famous for their cleanliness, orderliness and efficiency, all thanks to the widespread adoption of this excellent management method by Japanese companies.　　

In China's Hong Kong, Taiwan 5S is figuratively called "five often method": often organization, often rectification, often clean, often standardized and often self-discipline. In Hong Kong, 5S is widely used in government agencies, factories, hospitals, all walks of life, especially in the service industry, such as large restaurants, fast food chains, hotels, supermarkets, libraries and so on.　　

In China's mainland, the Haier Group's "6S big footprint" is also a household name. But the implementation of 5S management of the majority of manufacturing industry enterprises, service industry enterprises are very few, catering enterprises are only a few. With the catering enterprises quality awareness, safety awareness, brand awareness continues to increase, I believe that 5S will be more catering enterprises to pay attention to and use.

5S in the catering industry:

1, often organization

The senior leadership should pay attention to the people, money and materials to give strong support to the establishment of a perfect organization to promote the agency to develop a sound implementation plan and time schedule, repeatedly emphasize the implementation of five often on the growth of life and the hotel management to bring the benefits of the staff's recognition and commitment to make it active and positive! Participate in practicing the Five Principles. Regularly take the time to carry out training on the theoretical knowledge of the Five P's, watch VCD cases, growth rate of the staff's understanding and awareness of the Five P's, to reduce the work of the misconceptions, and to hold prize competitions to improve the staff's participation in the enthusiasm.　　

2, often reorganization

The need for people, things, things to be quantitative, positioning. Through the previous step after finishing, the production site needs to be left behind the scientific and reasonable arrangement and placement of items, so that the fastest speed to get what you need, in the most effective rules, regulations, systems and the most concise process to complete the operation.　

The main points of the reorganization activities are:

①The items should be placed in a fixed location and area so as to make it easier to find and eliminate the errors caused by mixing and placing;

②The location of the items should be scientifically reasonable. For example, according to the frequency of use of goods, often use things should be put closer (such as in the work area), occasional use or infrequent use of things should be put farther away (such as focusing on a certain place in the storehouse);

③ items placed visually, so that the quantitative loading of the items to do the number of the day to day know that the placement of different items in the region with different colors and markings to distinguish between them. The reasonable arrangement of items on the production site is conducive to improving work efficiency and product quality, to ensure production safety.　　

3, often clean

To clean the workplace, equipment abnormalities immediately repair, so that it returns to normal. Production site in the production process will produce dust, oil, garbage, etc., thus making the site dirty. Dirty site will affect people's working mood, so that people do not want to stay long. Therefore, it is necessary to remove those dirty things through cleaning activities to create a bright, comfortable working environment.　

The main points of the cleaning activities are:

①The use of their own items, such as equipment, tools, etc., to clean up their own, rather than relying on others, do not increase the number of specialized cleaners;

② The cleaning of equipment, focusing on the maintenance of equipment. Cleaning equipment to be combined with equipment inspection, cleaning that is, inspection; cleaning equipment to do the same time the lubrication of equipment, cleaning is also maintenance;

③ cleaning is also to improve. When cleaning the ground found debris and oil leakage, to find out why, and take measures to improve.　　

4, often standardized

Some of the hotel's excellent working methods or concepts standardization, the development of a set of effective working standards of the rules and regulations, and often organize staff to learn. To instill in everyone in accordance with the provisions of the way to do the ability to create a workplace with good habits. By teaching everyone how things should be done and having them practice them, we can discard bad habits and develop good ones. This process helps people develop the habit of making and following rules and regulations.　　

5, often self-discipline

Through often self-discipline, so that employees to strengthen their own constraints, consciously overcome bad habits, abandon the work of the arbitrary, the daily work to a "constant" on the word. At the same time, we must also strengthen the improvement of the staff's own quality, quality that is, upbringing, efforts to improve the quality of personnel, to develop the habit of strict compliance with rules and regulations and style, which is the "5S" activities at the core. Without the improvement of personnel quality, the activities can not be carried out smoothly, carried out also can not be maintained. Therefore, grasp the "5S" activities, always focus on improving the quality of people.
