5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace book
5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace, a book written by Hiroyuki Hirano, is available from Improvement Tools.com .
The five pillars of the visual workplace are sort, set in order, shine, standardise and sustain, which are 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 surprising how often such seemingly simple practices are absent in manufacturing operations.
Easy-to-read and apply, each section of the text is loaded with questions, outlines, summaries, diagrams and illustrations.
Importantly, 5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace book 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.
5S System reduces waste, guarantees product quality, ensures safety and increases the bottom line.
