5s管理外文翻译内容摘要：

5S, seiri (organisation) and seiton (orderliness – using his interpretation). Seiri is sorting out needed items from unneeded ones and disposing of the latter, while seiton is prioritising needed items. The other three ponents of 5S are explained in a similar way to Osada (1989, 1991). Hirano (1995) suggests that 5S should be promoted by top management using the following steps.(1) Establish an organisation that promotes 5S: this should be done by top management and be operated pany wide.(2) Establish a 5S promotion plan: scheduling implementation activities.(3) Create 5S campaign materials: top managers should participate at this stage.(4) Inhouse education: answering the question of ‘What does 5S mean?’ and providing training.(5) 5S Implementation: using visual methods, such as redtagging for seiri (organisation) and the signboard strategy for seiton (orderliness).(6) 5S evaluation and followup: periodic evaluation to check, maintain and improve 5S conditions.Japan tends to perceive 5S as both necessary and important. The US appears likely to recognize it as important but not necessary. The results showed that the frequency of the measured ponent ‘important’ in Japan and the US was higher than in the UK. The UK tends to perceive that 5S does not require work mitment, employing the word ‘should’ more than Japan and the US. This indicates that the UK sees 5S as a directive rather than an enabler.Japan employed ‘machine’ more than the UK and US, while the UK and US used ‘items’ more frequently. There were some similarities between Japan and the US。 both countries employed ‘information’ and ‘workplace’ more than the UK. All countries used ‘equipment’ similarly. The use of four out of five conceptual words was significantly different.There were some similarities and differences in the use of objectrelated words between Japan, the UK and the US. All the countries studied agreed that work equipment is more wellorganised and clean as a result of 5S implementation. The US and Japan tend to consider 5S as also dealing with information and the workplace. In Japan, machines are better organized and cleaned using 5S.The results showed that the UK and US used ‘item’ more than Japan. This indicates that these countries tend to consider seiri (organisation) to be a very important ponent in 5S. As seiri is the first ponent of 5S and involves an act of disposing of unneeded items as a result of organization activities, the UK and US are likely to consider that the first S seiri should be emphasized the most, rather than focusing on all items as a holistic strategy.DiscussionThe initial thematic analysis indicated a consensus in the improvement of the work environment utilising 5S across all countries. However, analysis of the main theme by country has shown different outes. For example, Japanese web pages emphasised ‘improvement’ the most, a focus on more efficient and effective business performance. In the UK and US, 5S was directly related to ‘work’. In other words, the perception of 5S in the UK and US was likely to be limited to a workrelated concept, as opposed to the Japanese interpretation that 5S is an application of life wisdom to business situations, which is supported by the literature review. The overall oute of analysis indicated that some aspects of 5S are significantly different across the count。
