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
By Andrew Scotchmer - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
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.
