Compagnies have been unable to find creative, practical and economical solutions in order to align 5S and visual controls with factory's core objectives to enable detection of deviations off the standards which require problem-solving. All these activities contribute to the continuous improvement culture, another Lean foundation. Thus, visual controls are crucial for smooth day-to-day operations and shop floor teams are often involved both in devising and implementing these tools using 5S principles and during other improvement activities, whereby operations can be checked and maintained throughout each manufacturing stage in a quick and visually effective manner.

This book explains how to design, plan and implement 5S and visual controls throughout manufacturing stages in line with core objectives and improvement targets and how to align work behavior with performance management system.

It includes step-by-step guide on how to identify and align primary and secondary standards thrived from core objectives with 5S & visual controls. It is a complete process which connects the entire organization towards enhanced and sustainable results through improved visual management and control.
