In this important work, JIT expert Hiroyuki Hirano introduces his 5S System: Sort, Set In Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. These steps are designed to improve efficiency, strengthen maintenance, and provide continuous improvement in all facets of a company’s operations. Addressing the skepticism of executives who deride the 5S System for its simplicity, the author, revered for his no-nonsense approach, warns of disastrous consequences for companies that fail to recognize its value; if they cannot successfully implement 5S, there is little hope of integrating large-scale changes such as JIT or re-engineering. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePresented in a thorough, detailed style, \u003cb\u003e5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace\u003c\/b\u003e explains why the 5S's are so important, as well as the nuts- and-bolts of 5S implementation.
