5.0 out of 5 stars Operational Excellence Team Member (Allvac)
This book does an outstanding job of conveying the need to start with 5s as the building block of Lean Manufacturing. The material covered is easy to understand and easily conveyed to the employees who are impacted by these practices. I would recommend this book to anyone considering going lean.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just about touches the "5 S's"....Not detailed enough
I wonder if workers on a shop floor would actually like to sit down and read this book. This touches the 5S's (Organization, Orderliness, Cleanliness, Organized cleanup, and Discipline), but does not give a detailed description of how one is to implement this tool. I recommend another book "5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace", to have a more detailed description...

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for implementation and study groups, Aug 27 2001

This review is from: 5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace (Paperback)
In our plant we used this book to implement 5'S. It is very simple, but thorough. The text is very well structured to highlight the main ideas. We formed a study group with the implementation team and would read and comment it as we worked the particular details of our programs. We quickly saw improvements and are still working on building upon what we learned.

I recommend another book "5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace", to have a more detailed description of the 5S's.

Effective implementation of this tool requires very high participation from senior management to make important decisions. I think workers will not be in a position to implement this tool, and so this book is not very useful.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Practical Working Tool, Mar 8 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: 5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace (Paperback)
This book gets to the nitty-gritty with a well laid out process to follow and brief, yet meaningful, examples of what to do and why. Great for all levels of employees to read and it only takes about 1 hour to get through.

4.0 out of 5 stars effective tool for shop-floor implementation, Aug 4 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace (Paperback)
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.
