Correct Answer:

Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain

Explanation:

Lean 5S is a workplace organization method built around five sequential actions that start with the letter S: Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain. The correct option lists these exact steps in the familiar order, matching how the 5S method is applied to organize, clean, standardize, and sustain a clean workspace. The other options introduce terms not used in 5S, such as Structure, Scan, Schedule, Secure, Stop/Start, which don’t reflect the standard five steps.
