These terms were adopted from the Japanese language SEIRE (sort), SEITON (systemize), SEISO (sweep), SEIKETSO (standardize), and SHITSUKE (self-discipline).

Right after the discussion on the 5S system on January 20, 2012 at the principal’s office, Israel ordered the immediate implementation of the 5S habit by all of the teachers in her supervision.
