Select the 5S of Lean Systems from the options below:
__________ means sort out the items in the workplace. Items that are not used should be thrown out as they are just taking up space and getting in the way. Those items that are used less frequently should be kept away from the workplace.
______ involves putting items in the best place, where they will easily be found when needed.
________ refers to continuously scanning the workplace for things that are out of place and need tidying away. It also involves performing routine maintenance tasks, such as lubricating the machines.
______________ means setting standards or procedures once the sort and simplify processes have been performed to make it easier to keep the workplace sorted and simplified. Colour coded stickers could be introduced – for example, indicating which locations items should be stored in.
________ means the use of the 5S Model should not be a one-off exercise, but should continue to be used after its introduction, and become part of the routine in the workplace.
The 5S Model can be applied to information systems as follows: ________ involves regularly auditing the reports and who is actually using them. It also involves removing obsolete data such as old customers or inventory items that are no longer used.
The 5S Model can be applied to information systems as follows: _______ the information transactions that flow around the organisation.

The 5S Model can be applied to information systems as follows: ____________ includes coming up with standards such as standards for reports (not standardized reports) and rules about who should be copied in on emails.
The 5S Model can be applied to information systems as follows:__________ means identifying the best methods of communicating the information. Simplify also considers the way the information is stored in the system, such as the file structures to avoid duplications
The 5S Model can be applied to information systems as follows:________ involves continuously performing the other four steps and therefore continuously improving the information systems.

What best sums up veracity?

The short timescales for information developed to affect decisions. The information could be gathered in nearly real time and this might be necessary in order to react quickly to information about customers who are considering a purchase. This is an explanation for which of the 3Vs of Big data?
In stores, loyalty cards being swiped at checkouts allow the details of all products purchased, the time, amount and method of payment used. On the website and on social media pages, in addition to the data which could be collected as for stores, every page visited and every product examined or commented upon would be recorded. This information would require system hardware to store and retrieve it. This describes which of the 3Vs of Big data?
