Customer Reviews

Not what I expected
I was expecting a memory jogger, but this was a fast paced marathon! Instead of being a few, quick, easy to read points, the pocket guide read more like a book. The formating was difficult to follow and the font was difficult to see.

5 S review
The book represents a comprehensive approach to the 5 s system. Very helpful in an overall sense.

5S Pocket Guide
Easy to understand, very helpful guide to understanding what 5S really is, its not just housekeeping
