I have heard of a Japanese concept of 5S:

1.) Sort (Seiri)
2.) Straighten (Seiton)
3.) Shine (Seiso)
4.) Standardize (Seiketsu)
5.) Sustain (Shitsuke)

Perhaps it is a different translations of the same concept. I don't think the Japanese language has separate letters for "s" and "z" so perhaps when the concept was translated from Japanese to Hindi to English, the letter got changed slightly.

This is new to me too - where did you come across the term ?

A quick websearch turned up this:

This standard defines the procedure of “5Z Accreditation” which is the scheme to promote, evaluate, maintain and improve process control using the Genba Kanri principles.
“5Z” is a general term for the following five actions ending with “ZU”…meaning “Don’t” in Japanese.

-UKETORAZU (Don’t accept defects)
-TSUKURAZU (Don’t make defects)
-BARATSUKASAZU (Don’t create variation)
-KURIKAESAZU (Don’t repeat mistakes)
-NAGASAZU (Don’t supply defects)

from http://www.isixsigma.com/dictionary/5Z-1904.htm

But that is about the only link that seems to be connected to this concept, so apparently it is not a very common idea.

Randy,

Don't worry. From what I have learned it is associated with Genba Kanri, a workplace management system.

And that may apply to Baskin Robbins as well. :D

Actually, I always heard it as girls and guys....they call me a SHRITS

Sassy Hussey Raised in the South

....As I said, I have been fully adopted and nobody even remembers that they used to call me a Yankee, and I had to set them straight that being raised west of the Missouri River pretty much disallowed the term Yankee. lol.

FRITS works, or we could be Fritters, Inc.
