Abstract (2. Language): 
The main motivation of this research is to examine effects of “5S applications” which is similar to Kaizen philosophy, on excellence perceptions of firms in food sector. In this context, a questionnaire was applied to the logistics department employees of randomly chosen firms that operate in Istanbul and Kocaeli districts. Data obtained from surveys were subjected to structural equation modeling test. According to the results, overall 5S applications showed positive and significant effects on excellence in business variable, excluding “cleaning”. Moreover, outstanding effect of “sustain” application is an intriguing finding of this research. With the importance that efficiency concept has today, it is evaluated that the results obtained in this study will be beneficial to organizations, especially during their process improvement activities by being the first research in food sector that seeks connection between the 5S and excellence.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu araştırmanın temel amacı Kaizen felsefesine benzeyen 5S uygulamalarının gıda sektöründe faaliyet gösteren firmaların mükemmeliyet algılamalarına etkilerini incelemektir. Bu kapsamda, İstanbul ve Kocaeli’nde faaliyet gösteren ve rastgele seçilen firmaların lojistik birimlerinde çalışan personele anket uygulanmış ve anketlerden elde edilen veriler yapısal eşitlik modellemesi ile teste tabi tutulmuştur. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, "temizlik" hariç tüm 5S uygulamalarının iş mükemmelliği değişkeni üzerinde anlamlı ve belirgin etkileri bulunmaktadır. Ayrıca, araştırmanın önemli bir bulgusu da "sürdürülebilirlik" değişkeninin mükemmelik değişkeni üzerindeki göze çarpan etkisinin tespit edilmiş olmasıdır. Verimlilik kavramının günümüzde sahip olduğu önem nedeniyle, gıda sektöründe 5S ile mükemmellik arasında bağlantı kurmayı amaçlayan ilk araştırma olan bu çalışmada elde edilen sonuçların, işletmelere özellikle süreç iyileştirme faaliyetlerinde fayda sağlayacağı değerlendirilmektedir.
