KOTA KINABALU: The implementation of 5S Practice among government agencies is satisfactory with 172 agencies nationwide have been awarded with the Public Sector 5S Practice certification as at May 31.
Sabah Federal secretary Datuk Abu Bakar Hassan said the introduction to the Public Sector Conducive Ecosystem (EKSA) to improve the 5S Practice at end of last year had also seen 22 public sector agencies nationwide, including seven in Sabah, received the certification.
"The number shows the commitment, acceptance and positive performance of public agencies since the introduction of EKSA over three years ago," he said when opening the EKSA Workshop organised by the Malaysian Administrative Modernisation and Management Planning Unit (Mampu) here today.
Abu Bakar said all federal and state agencies had also taken the initiatives to rebrand and give a new breath to the practice in line with the current demands to improve their levels of performance and competitiveness.
He said the rebranding process was vital to enable them to enhance their corporate image, encourage activities towards green environment by promoting 'Go Green' campaign and innovation in line with the demand of stakeholders.
The 5S Practice originated from a similar Japanese practice involving Sisih (Seiri), Susun (Seiton), Sapu (Seisu), Seragam (Shiketsu) and Sentiasa Amal (Shitsuke) at workplace.
