Any Purchasing Department following basic guidelines as mentioned here under would automatically achieve 5S.

Any Purchasing Department must have following guiding principles before it while making procurement decisions:

  • PROPERLY AUTHORIZED PROCUREMENT
  • WELL DEFINED AND NON-DISCRIMINATORY EVALUATION CRITERIA
  • OBTAIN VALUE FOR MONEY
  • Transparency
  • Open and fair competition
  • Proper Documentation
  • Probity
  • Accountability
  • Ethical Behavior
  • Compliance to SEE- Social Economic and Environmental considerations
