Abstract

The 5S practice is a continuous quality improvement program within organization. This practice was originally implemented in the industrial sector and expanded to the service sector in Japan. There are efforts to improve office management through the introduction of 5S practices. Although many studies have been conducted and discussed by researchers, especially in adopting Japanese management methods such as 5S, however it has not yet reached a concrete conclusion as to why some organizations are failing. The purpose of this study is to examine 5S the level of implementation at University Utara Malaysia (UUM). Quantitative method is applied and Item Response Theory (IRT) as a base to examine the level of 5S implementation. The Rasch model with Winsteps 3.6 software is used as analysis tools because of its ability to interpret and analysed respondent’s ability to perform difficult tasks. The secondary data is obtained from the 5S auditor. The findings of this study develop a profile of 5S practices in which they demonstrate that 5S implementation success can be enhanced by focusing on 5S main requirements.
