5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace (For Your Organization!) by Hiroyuki Hirano
Readable And Practical Book
In this important sourcebook, JIT expert Hiroyuki Hirano provides the most vitalinformation available on the visual workplace. He describes the 5Ss: in Japanese they are seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke (which translate as organization, orderliness, cleanliness,standardized cleanup, and discipline). Hirano discusses how the 5S theory fosters efficiency, maintenance, and continuous improvement in all areas of the company, from the plant floor to the sales office. Thisbook includes numerous case studies, hundreds of graphic illustrations, and over forty 5S user forms and training materials.
Personal Review: 5 Pillars of the Visual Workplace (For YourOrganization!) by Hiroyuki Hirano
I checked this out from the library and read it in one day (I didn't do anything else all day, and I'm a fast reader). Hirano's style is very educational: he resorts tohumor, he states his biases clearly, he details step-by-step instructions, he warns about pitfalls, he gives his own insight on overcoming those pitfalls. He walks the walk: the only photo of him in thebook is of him cleaning the floor in a factory. For anyone already familiar with Lean Principles, the focus of this book is 5S, of which the English translation is approximately Sort, Straighten, Shine,Standardize, Sustain.

He includes sample forms and kick-off campaign letters. Best of all, this book shows how 5S is the basis for all other Lean...
