How to Build a Self-Sustaining System of Visual Control
The methodology behind a 5S program that actually holds.

Includes worked examples from production, maintenance, lab, and warehouse environments. Walks the kaizen-event week (day-by-day run of show), the audit program design, and the leadership behaviors that make sustainment real. Written for plant managers, area managers, and lean program owners. Pairs with the 5S Workbook by Wade Prescott, the bench-ready field guide.
