Hiroyuki 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.
Together, these concepts form the framework of the 5S System, a set
of principles whose simplicity often betrays its powerful impact on
the workplace. So much of the 5S System seems like common sense,
that it is astonishing how often such seemingly simple practices
are absent in manufacturing operations. That is why Productivity
Press is proud to bring you 5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the
Visual Workplace, a hands-on book that explains the principles,
rationale and implementation details of the 5S System.
Easy-to-read and apply, each section of the text is loaded with
questions, outlines, summaries, diagrams and illustrations. Most
importantly, 5S for Operators provides the foundational knowledge
that is essential for implementing not just the 5S System, but
overall manufacturing improvements like shorter equipment
changeovers, just-in-time inventory, total quality management and
total productive maintenance.
Since its publication in 1996, 5S for Operators has been and
continues to be hugely popular, consistently ranking among
Productivity's list of top-sellers, and its popularity is not hard
to understand. 5S has proven its worth in one company after
another, consistently reducing waste, guaranteeing product quality,
ensuring safety and increasing the bottom line. With 5S for
Operators, the 5S System can have the same profound effect on your
operations.
To introduce the 5S system and sell its use to executives as
well as workers, consider purchasing--
