Eliminate the causes of unsafe workplace conditions with this unique 5S approach!
Need a way to quickly and easily start a safety program or to reenergize your safety efforts? Poor safety conditions exist in all plants. They are inherent to the manufacturing industry itself. Slippage can occur from water or grease on the floor. Fires can occur from oil or chemical leaks. Mobile equipment can cause accidents of all kinds. Employees are safe and productive only when their work environment is safe. Now you can use the basics of 5S - organization, orderliness, cleanliness, standardized clean-up, and self-discipline - as a simple, proactive and inexpensive way to solve safety problems in the workplace.
An uncluttered, well-organized, and understandable workplace is the foundation for safety. 5S for Safety: New Eyes for the Shop Floor is a set of universal principles and activities that sustain safe conditions on the shop floor. The 5S for Safety video program focuses on improving unsafe and hazardous conditions that exist before an accident has occurred. It is this pre-accident view that makes 5S for Safety a preventive approach. 5S for Safety uses a unique method - the safety scan - to diagnose the causes of accidents. Based on that analysis, it then draws on standard 5S techniques and OSHA guidelines to identify, implement, and standardize "best practices"for shopfloor conditions. What's more, 5S for Safety doesn't stop with making your workplace a safer place. It will make it an efficient, more productive place as well. While improving safety, you'll also be fostering efficiency and continuous improvement in your company's operations. 5S stops the conflict between safety and profit, because when you use the 5S approach, you will increase productivity and profits while you improve safety.
Safety should be the number one concern in any manufacturing environment. The 5S system is gaining status in America because it works easily and quickly! These fast-paced, hard-hitting videos and guide will convince you that you can't wait for another accident, or even another "near miss" to begin eliminating unsafe conditions.

5S is a simple and immensely practical approach to quality improvement which, when implemented effectively, can transform the fabric of a company. Traditionally used in manufacturing companies for little more than housekeeping, its latent power has yet to be leveraged by service companies. Author Debashis Sarkar has pioneered a blueprint for 5S implementation that can take service organizations to greater heights. The principles can also be applied to offices, education institutes, and hospitals, as well manufacturing companies who wish to realize the full potential of 5S.
This hands-on book is based on the author’s experience in catalyzing an enterprise-wide 5S implementation in India’s largest private sector bank, spread across more than 700 locations not only in India but also in places such as Canada, Singapore, Dubai. and London. This change initiative touched more than 15,000 people and had the involvement of employees across all levels of the organization. This book is based on all that he applied and learnt during this massive rollout.
5S can be converted to a management practice when implemented as a change initiative involving the organization at all levels, from the CEO to the process associate. Implementation requires an all-encompassing workplace system comprising structure, people, processes, practices, and infrastructure. Such a holistic implementation moves 5S away from being just another methodology and to an intervention that can change the hearts and minds of the employees, irrespective of the state of maturity of the organization in improvements.

Although office and administrative activities are usually 60 percent of the production costs in most manufacturing organizations, these areas often get excluded during lean initiatives. To achieve lean, office activities must fully support shop floor manufacturing operations to eliminate waste. The adoption of 5S throughout all office and administrative functions is the first step to increase efficiency.
In 5S for the Office : Organizing the Workplace to Eliminate Waste, Tom Fabrizio and Don Tapping bring the concepts of the 5S System -- effective tools for the elimination of waste on the shop floor -- into the office environment. The activities at the heart of 5S for the Office (organizing, ordering, cleaning, standardizing, and sustaining all of these) are completely logical. They are the basic rules for managing any effective workplace. However, it is the systematic method with which the 5S system approaches these activities that makes it unique.
This book is a blueprint for building a Lean foundation for your office, and:
- Provides detailed step-by-step implementation on how to apply 5S to your office activities.
- Includes forms, worksheets, and photos that will allow you to "see" the value of 5S, thereby increasing sustained support of the implementation. The accompanying CD contains blank versions of many of the worksheets that appear throughout the book. The worksheets on the CD, however, are interactive - the user can electronically enter and save information right on the particular form.
- Can be used as a training and implementation manual.
Readers of this book can immediately apply the concepts of 5S to their office and administrative activities, resulting in the elimination of waste, reduced production costs, and increased profits.

"Prof. Bala's cases are very well-written, striking the right balance between theory, practice and human behaviour. If corporate governance and ethics can at all be taught, then his would be the only resources I would recommend. A thorough reading of the material provides the perfect blend of information needed to get an interested student to think and reflect." --Vikrant T. Nanda,Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad 2011,Cornell University 2004
"I have read hundreds of cases written by Harvard, Stanford and even IIMA professors. None match the lucidity and richness I found in these cases." --Vivek R. Chudgar, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad and Solutions Manager, TCS
"This impeccable aggregation of cases provides both a national and an international perspective towards the role, dilemmas, decision making, and ethical and behavioural concerns of the Board of Directors. The collection of industry's past failures and insightful synergies between the executive and board members provides a guide for today's ever-emerging need for corporate governance, and enables managers and management students to take up a much larger role in shaping tomorrow's organizations." --Bhavin Shukla, PGPX5, Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management 2010-11, Indian Institute of Management Ahmedabad
"One of the most pertinent subjects that I learned in IIMB was Corporate Governance. The cases used were some of the best that I had in my entire course curriculum and were of the same quality, depth and relevance as those used in other top B-schools of the world. These diverse cases have sensitized me so much to Corporate Ethics and Governance issues that I am now confident of leading well an organisation in today's dizzy business atmosphere" --Neeraj Kumar Verma, Executive Post Graduate Programme in Management 2010-11, IIM-Bangalore, and Supply Chain Manager, Caterpillar
"The cases are true masterpieces that strongly improve the understanding of the major concepts of corporate governance..., the cases have been written in a very lucid style. The presentation of the content flows from general overview to specific details. Reading these cases was a truly enlightening, thought provoking and satisfying experience."--Pramod Kumar, LIC, PGEP3

The COVID-19 pandemic underscored longstanding fissures in China’s business relationships with the West. If the West is going to develop a relationship of mutual trust and improve business relations with China in the coming decades, it is imperative to understand how to engage with Chinese thinking on ethics in business—this book explains how.
Government officials, businesspeople, and business-ethicists have trouble communicating about issues in ethics, policy, and business across the China-West divide. This book shows how to overcome the us-versus-them mindset plaguing China-West relations by presenting to Western audiences an easy-to-understand yet deeply informed primer on core ideas and perspectives in Chinese cultural and philosophical thought. The book considers original texts of Chinese philosophy and religion, and applies principles from those writings to three business-ethics topics of enduring interest to business executives, government officials, and academics, namely, the protection of intellectual property, assurance of product safety and quality in the pharmaceutical supply chain, and human rights.%u3000
This book is a must-read for those who want to forge constructive relationships with their Chinese counterparts based on mutual trust and understanding. The book is specifically relevant to business executives, but it should also be of interest to policymakers, educators, and students who seek to communicate more effectively with their Chinese counterparts, in particular about difficult and contentious business, policy, and ethical issues.
