Abstract
Albeit being a popular technique, the 5-S house keeping programme implementation had been intense only in the Japanese companies. The high costs and investment are cited as the main reasons for reluctance towards 5-S implementation in other parts of the world. This implies the need of a system to financially account the performance of 5-S teams. Meanwhile the researchers have established the link between 5-S concept and Quality Circles (QCs). In this context, this paper reports a research project in which the implementation feasibility of a QCs financial accounting system for financially accounting 5-S teams was checked by gathering relevant data from a unit of a multinational company situated in India. Subsequently the same data was inputted into an executive support system called QUEX which has been developed for financially accounting QCs. Its outputs were demonstrated to the 5-S facilitators. Their reactions were favourable indicating the practical validity of this research project.
