Procedure for auditing 5S

I need more information about procedure of auditing 5S.

Thank you,

Is Iran into LEAN Manufacturing too? I found this inquiry intriguing! 5S is a process that many plating shops would benefit from. Most plating shops stumble around looking for the right rack or tape or plugs that 5S would make readily available.

When Anoplate embarked on a 5S project 3 years ago, we started with related books from Amazon.com. Also, a firm called Productivity Press from either Oregon or Washington publishes books on this subject.

The best book, and I'm going from memory now since it's at the office, is by a Goldthrop or Goldworthy or Gold_____ and is entitled "The Visual Factory."
