A study of the awareness of the staff of SALCRA on an enhancement of 5S principles and practices / Embrose Naji, Bibiana Manggai & Bill Thomas Junggu

The purpose of this study is to investigate about the awareness of the staffs of SALCRA Kedup One and SALCRA Kedup Two for the importance of extending the 5S principles and practices to their family or to their home. The survey has shown that more than three quarter of the respondents are not aware of the importance of extending and promoting the 5S principles and practices to their family. The main reasons is because of their low educational background and also lack of awareness for extending its principles and practices to their home. They thought that the 5S principles and practices are only applicable at their work place only. Majority of the remaining respondents are ignorant of practicing it at home eventhough they are aware of it. The survey results also shows that more than half of the respondents are not quite sure of the benefits of 5S to their daily life eventhough they have heard about it before. However, majority ( more than 80% ) of the respondents agreed for the extention and promotion of the 5S principles and practices to their family after they have understood of its importance.
