5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace > Customer Review #1:
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.

5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace > Customer Review #2:
Excellent for implementation and study groups

In our plant we used this book to implement 5S. 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.

5S for Operators: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace > Customer Review #3:
Just about touches the "5 Ss"....Not detailed enough

I wonder if workers on a shop floor would actually like to sit down and read this book. This touches the 5Ss (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 of the 5Ss.

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.
