Abstract: The main purpose of current research work is to evaluate the effect of various factors in the successful implementation of 5S. For this purpose, a systematic methodology based on graph theory and matrix (GTM) method has been utilised for the computation of implementation index. An example has been proposed to demonstrate the methodology. The main consequence of this work is that manufacturing organisations can find the weak links in their 5S implementation process. Moreover, the organisations can compute their implementation index value to judge their readiness for the successful implementation of 5S.
