Abstract

The 5S Brew at Kafe Kawan tells the inspiring story of Wan Ali, a dedicated employee at a Japanese multinational in Malaysia, who embarked on a transformative journey in Japan. This narrative explores his discovery of the 5S concept - Seiri, Seiton, Seisō, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke - and its profound alignment with Islamic values of orderliness, cleanliness, and discipline. Upon returning to Malaysia, Wan Ali's newfound insights and unwavering dedication lead him to establish Kafe Kawan in Ipoh, Perak. The cafe becomes a symbol of quality management and ethical practice, blending 5S principles with the warmth of Malaysian hospitality and Islamic ethics. It emerges as a community beacon, illustrating the powerful impact of integrating cultural and ethical values in business, transcending cultural and industrial boundaries, and creating a thriving, meaningful enterprise.
