Sometimes, the roots of quality management strategies are ancient and deeply held philosophical beliefs. That's the case with 5S, the Japanese quality management framework that today is used worldwide. The creators of 5S drew inspiration from ideas from China that were thousands of years old, as well as Japanese beliefs about how each person has an equally important role to play in society. The result, when combined with management concepts from America, is the 5S framework that we know today. At QMS2GO, we're creating tools to enable the next generation of quality management, drawing from the millennia of innovation that have come before us.

Watch How Japanese Culture Shaped 5S Quality Management Strategies — a free video from the QMS2GO Learning Hub for quality managers, internal auditors, and manufacturing leaders working with ISO 9001 quality management systems. Every video in the hub is produced by the QMS2GO quality team and is free to view without signup.
QMS2GO is an audit-ready operating system for ISO 9001 manufacturers. The Learning Hub gives quality professionals the background needed to run a mature quality management system — from clause interpretation and internal audit planning to CAPA, nonconformance handling, and continual improvement. Pair this video with the platform's AI-generated procedures, registers, and audit programs to move from theory to a running QMS in weeks.
Most quality teams get the most value by treating each video as a working session rather than passive background. Note the ISO 9001 clauses referenced, compare what is described against how your own organization currently handles that requirement, and write down the gap. Where the gap is a missing record, a missing owner, or a process that lives only in someone's head, that is exactly what a certification or surveillance auditor will find first. Share the video with process owners and supervisors so quality ownership is not concentrated in one person.
Quality managers building or inheriting an ISO 9001 quality management system, internal auditors preparing an audit program to ISO 19011, consultants supporting multiple client sites, production and operations leaders who own corrective actions, and executives who need a plain-language view of how quality performance connects to on-time delivery, scrap, rework, and customer complaints. No prior auditor training is assumed, and every video in the hub is free to view without signup or a credit card.
