The 5S methodology is a Lean tool that helps to organize and improve the workplace by eliminating waste and improving efficiency. The five S’s stand for Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. Digitization refers to the use of digital technology to transform manual processes into automated ones, which can help to improve the speed and accuracy of operations. The paper focused on implementing the 5S methodology in an industrial setting using digital tools to improve efficiency and productivity while also fostering a culture of continuous improvement. The results of the study are likely to provide insights into the effectiveness of using the 5S methodology and digitization to achieve Lean goals in an industrial context.
