Product Description

Review
"I recommend this book to every supervisor who wants a commonsense, inexpensive method for improving quality, productivity, safety, and morale within their department."

Product Description
Since its publication, Hiroyuki Hirano’s, 5S for Operators continues to be hugely popular, having proven its worth in one company after another. Hirano’s five pillars of the visual workplace: sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain are the most fundamental and often overlooked aspects in continuous improvement initiatives. Easy-to-read and apply, each section of the book is loaded with questions, outlines, summaries, diagrams and illustrations. This book provides the foundation that is essential for implementing not just 5S, but overall manufacturing improvements like shorter equipment changeovers, just-in-time inventory, and total quality management and total productive.

4.0 out of 5 stars effective tool for shop-floor implementation, 4 Aug 1998
By A Customer
This book is layed out in a basic, easy to use format that makes it effective for shop use. I found it more appropriate than several other publications for use with my mixed management/hourly implementation team.

3.0 out of 5 stars www.completekaizen.co.uk, 25 Aug 2007
A good step-by-step introduction of the 5S method based on Hirano's classic text. Unfortunately a little too basic and the cartoons gave me the impression that the publishers don't think shop-floor workers are intelligent enough to read. Though its the same with many of their books I've read, the fine text written by japanese guru's is ruined by the demeaning cartoons.

There's better books out their on the subject but I'll give it three stars out of respect for Hirano.
