A BRIEF ARGUMENT FOR PCI DSS (OR ALEX’S 5S’S FOR LEAN INFORMATION SECURITY MANAGEMENT) | RiskAnalys.is: "Japanese Lean management types talk about something called the “5S’s”. Popularized by Hiroyuki Hirano (but whose origins may come from Ford in the 20’s), the (Americanized version of) 5S’s are designed to eliminate waste in production. The 5S’s are:
Sort - remove all items from the workplace that are NOT needed for current production.
Set in Order - arranging needed items so that they are easy to find and put away. Items used often are placed closer to employee.
Shine - making sure everything is clean, functioning, and ready to go.
Standardize - the method you use to maintain the first 3S’s.
Sustain - making a habit of properly maintaining correct procedures."
