INTRODUCTION

Introduction of EKSA
MAMPU has taken the initiative to improve the implementation of 5S Practice which has now been rebranded as the Public Sector Conducive Ecosystem (EKSA). This step is in line with efforts to strengthen the culture of high-performance and innovative organizations among public sector agencies through the provision of an environment, work culture and values that are practiced by all members of public sector agencies.

In particular, this rebranding was implemented with the aim of enabling government agencies to:

1. expand implementation in Government agencies to create a conducive environment;
2. improve the corporate image;
3. fueling creativity and innovation activities in line with the demands of stakeholders;
4. encouraging activities towards creating a green environment through the cultivation of Green Practices; and
5. ensure that the auditing elements meet the needs of the various Government agencies.

Apart from that, EKSA also introduced a new evaluation and auditing model that includes Generic Criteria and Specific Criteria by also taking into account the diversity of Government agency premises according to the types of services provided. The one-size-fits-all approach that was practiced previously was found to be insufficient to meet the needs of the current variety of Government agencies. Therefore, this EKSA assessment will be adjusted according to the locality of the audited agency.

In conclusion, the introduced EKSA is not intended to replace the 5S concept that has already been practiced, but rather to improve the 5S element by supporting the creation of a conducive work environment.
