This research focuses on the impact of 5S adoption on households. Much research has been done on the outcome of quality concepts in many institutions and industries; but only a very few, or no, studies have been done on households. Thus, the objective of this research is to find out the outcome of 5S adoption with a special focus on South Indian households. A structured pilot questionnaire was circulated to 50 employees and their spouses in a leading company in Coimbatore. The respondents were well versed in 5S, Lean, Kaizen, and safety. The analysis indicates that 5S adoption in homes could lead to continuous improvement, reduced waste, and improved safety, all of which would be beneficial to families.
