R. Fernandes Radu Godina and João C. O. Matias 1 Introduction In the wake of the competitive environment that organizations are facing several companies are attempting to reinvent and adopt innovative practices that would allow them to surmount the various obstacles they encounter along the way 1 . One of the most popular practices adopted by the business world is the Lean Manufacturing which is a result of the success story of Toyota. That despite the difficulties experi- enced at the time it managed to promote sustainable and continuous growth through the maximization of the value of the product by through the reduction of the waste through the maximization external and internal variability among others 2 4 . Lean embraces several practices like just-in-time quality systems team work among others 5 . Lean is considered by several authors like a technique to reduce waste but the truth is lean maximizes product value through waste minimization 6 . Even though the application of Lean principles brings numerous benefits to orga- nizations the optimization of the productive process is not enough there are other aspects to take into account. Among the several tools offered by lean 5S as shown as J. P. R. Fernandes J. C. O. Matias B DEGEIT University of Aveiro 3810-193 Aveiro Portugal e-mail jmatias@ J. P. R. Fernandes e-mail R.
