Introduction
Ethiopia has embarked on a process of reforming its TVET-System. Within the policies and
strategies of the Ethiopian Government, technology transformation – by using international
standards and international best practices as the basis, and, adopting, adapting and verifying them
in the Ethiopian context – is a pivotal element. TVET is given an important role with regard to
technology transfer. The new paradigm in the outcome-based TVET system is the orientation at
the current and anticipated future demand of the economy and the labor market.
The Ethiopia Occupational Standards (EOS) is the core element of the Ethiopian National
TVET-Strategy and an important factor within the context of the National TVET-Qualification
Framework (NTQF). They are national Ethiopian standards, which define the occupational
requirements and expected outcome related to a specific occupation without taking TVET
delivery into account.
This document details the mandatory format, sequencing, wording and layout for the Ethiopia
Occupational Standard which comprised of Units of Competence.
A Unit of Competence describes a distinct work activity. It is documented in a standard format
that comprises:
 Occupational title and NTQF level
 Unit title
 Unit code
 Unit descriptor
 Elements and Performance criteria
 Variables and Range statement
 Evidence guides
Together all the parts of a Unit of Competence guide the assessor in determining whether the
candidate is competent. The ensuing sections of this EOS document comprise a description of
the occupation with all the key components of a Unit of Competence:
 Chart with an overview of all Units of Competence for the respective level including the Unit
Codes and the Unit Titles
 Contents of each Unit of Competence (competence standard)
 Occupational map providing the technical and vocational education and training (TVET)
providers with information and important requirements to consider when designing training
programs for this standard and for the individual, a career path

Unit Descriptor This unit covers the skills, attitudes and knowledge required to an
employee or worker to apply 5S procedures (structured approach to
housekeeping) to their own job and work area and maintains the
housekeeping and other standards set by 5S. The unit assumes the
employee or worker has a particular job and an allocated work area and
that processes in the work area are known by the individual.

Variable Range
Elements of QA system  corrective action
 mission statements
 monitoring procedures
 SOPs
 work instructions
 PDCA concept
5S 5S is a system of work organization originally developed in Japan
based around housekeeping principles. A close translation of the five
stages in the housekeeping approach is:
 Sort
 Set in order
 Shine
 Standardize
 Sustain
Japanese terms:
 Seiri - eliminating everything not required for the work being
performed (sort)
 Seiton - efficient placement and arrangement of equipment and
material (set in order)
 Seison - tidiness and cleanliness (shine)
 Seiketsu - ongoing, standardized, continually improving seiri,
 Seiton, seison
 Shitsuke - discipline with leadership
Items in the work area Includes:
 Tools
 Jigs/fixtures
 Materials/components
 Plant and equipment
 Manuals
 Personal items (e.g. Bags, lunch boxes and posters)
 Safety equipment and personal protective equipment
 Other items which happen to be in the work area
Sort Sort involves keeping only what is absolutely necessary for the

job at hand. All of these materials/change/parts etc must have an
assigned location on the production floor.
Locations should be clearly marked and labeled to show what belongs
where. assigning required equipment and materials appropriate
locations in the work area
Shine includes:
 keeping the work area clean at all times
 this should be carried out to a regular daily schedule against
allowed time and, on most occasions, at the end of a job
Standardize Once 5S is established, standardizing activities help maintain the order
and the housekeeping standards. Standardizing may use procedures and
checklists developed from a procedure.
Standardizing includes:
 Activities that help maintain the order and the housekeeping
standards
 Using procedures and checklists developed from a procedure
 OHS measures such as signage, symbols / coding and labeling of
work area and equipment
Procedures Procedures may include:
 work instructions
 standard operating procedures
 formulas/recipes
 batch sheets
 temporary instructions and similar instructions provided for the
operation of the plant
 good operating practice as may be defined by industry codes of
practice (e.g. good manufacturing practice (GMP) and responsible
care) and government regulations procedures may be:
 written, verbal, computer based or in some other format
Sustain includes:
 making sure that daily activities are completed every day regardless
of circumstance
 cleaning up after a job
 undertaking inspections, including:
 informal inspections carried out often, at least weekly
 formal inspections carried out at least monthly
 generating continuous improvement actions from daily activities
 following up specific actions to generate continuous improvement
