The present work probes the relationship between 5S vis-a-vis productivity and quality. 5S is an extraordinarily economical yet highly effective method of business management. Two hypotheses were formulated for testing with the random sample survey with a reliable and valid questionnaire on the targeted population. The collected data were analyzed using the statistical software SPSS Statistics V23. The statistical tests, namely, multiple correlations, regression analysis, and Pearson- Correlation analysis, were performed. The results show a strong positive correlation between productivity and 5S. The relationship between quality and 5s was also positively related but had moderate significance. This study was limited to a single joint venture Indo- Japanese auto-joint venture situated in the Delhi-NCR region. Further enlarged studies must be performed on more such companies in this location and various geographical regions of India.
