"5S" is becoming increasingly popular in IT Production. Coming from the industry (real people will real jobs and real products), it is a Japanese method to "clean the workspace and get it fit for optimal work". It requires a bit of day to day commitment (like many things), and a bit of clever thinking. It can be successfully applied to "virtual workspaces" (yes, your hard disk and its zillions-branches tree).
However, some people tend to assimilate "5S" with "dump the useless"... Well... It's always a good thing to get rid of the useless, hu?

gee, 5S is a tool to involve people into a change process, not to get rid of waste (though this is a nice side effect, of course) !
I thought you'd know it by now ;-)
Nevermind, the strip is indeed very close to reality ;)
