"Productivity is, above all, an attitude of mind. It seeks to continually improve what already exists. It is based on the belief that one can do things better today than yesterday and better tomorrow than today."

With the University's commitment to continually improve its Quality Management System, to provide quality service to all stakeholders, the Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa recently conducted the Quality Management Training Series, Track 1: Office 5S, for its Administrative and Academic Personnel, last Monday, 27 February 2023, from 1:00 PM onwards at the PLMun Emerald Hall.

The Vice President for Administration and Finance, Engr. Cynthia T. Meneses delivered the opening remarks by stressing the essence of Good Housekeeping in the Workplace through the implementation of Office 5S. Office 5S is a workplace organization method derived from the Japanese words, Seiri (Sort), Seiton (Set in order), Seiso (Shine), Seiketsu (Standardize), and Shitsuke (Sustain). She mentioned that aside from the upcoming Accreditation, PLMun must implement Office 5S as a requirement of the ISO standard to achieve an organized work environment.

The University is beyond honored to have its President, Dr. Raymundo P. Arcega, CESE, as the Resource Speaker. In his talk Nurturing Excellence and Sustaining Transformation, Dr. Arcega discussed the difference between Productivity and Quality, and how it will benefit the University in achieving a quality management system. He added that Efficiency and Effectiveness go hand-in-hand in this process.

Dr. Arcega also reminded the PLMun community to participate in the regular Clean-up Day, every Friday, to transform offices into productive working areas.

In closing, the Asst. Vice President for Finance, Ms. Melissa A. Untalan shared her gratitude and appreciation to all who attended and supported the event.

The Quality Management Training Series, Track 1: Office 5S was hosted by Ms. Farrah Jaelene B. Lozano, the Director of the Center for Corporate Communications and Marketing
