Are you try to make 5s Audit checklist but no clue where to start?
The aim of the 5s lean manufacturing were to ease the work. But sometimes it goes in wrong way, if the auditor and the auditee are not goes in same perceptions. This why 5S audit checklist are vital.
By using this Template will make you easier to quantify the operations issue such as:
First: 5s checklist template size
The first aspect I will discuss about the size of the template. In my experience industry there are only two kinds of size used most. And each size has its own benefit for example in operation you want to have some card sized A5 rather than paper A4. Since A5 size scorecard also has disadvantages which is not much item we can listed in the card. It Is suitable if the team are already familiar with 5S and able to grasp each query of the template.
In the other hand, if you want to make the checklist are visible in dashboard, we can prefer A4 landscape format below. it is perfect if you have space for the board and as well as used in digital template. By extracting the template into PDF for example using pdf and make it fillable. Nowadays operator or even foreman are equipped with iPad to digitalize their work.
Yes, you read it right even though this might obvious topic for the seasonal lean practitioner. It was important aspect to discuss tough. Form my observation this is where the starting point of the 5s program successful applications. We may define several scoring methods. Each method may be suitable for certain aspects of conditions depend on the occasion. here 3 methods of how 5s audit scored check it below.

Third: 5s Audit queries & essentials aspects to consider
This is interesting topic, which I think quite broad if we discussed both in the office and shopfloor. To narrow down the topic, I will focus on the shopfloor checklist only. as for the office part you can define it easier than the shopfloor part. let’ get into it
Fourth: The checklist training deployment
The last aspect you need to consider were the training deployment of the audit checklist. It may sound simple, but it has intrinsic value that cannot be neglected are the level understanding of audit checklist between auditor and auditee. Of course, as the auditor goes it may have more comprehensive understanding in 5s checklist rather than the auditee.
However, nowadays the industry application where they usually rotating the auditor from non-shopfloor department such as HR or finance. The audit finding and overall result sometimes not aligned with the main aim of 5s. It is better that there is basic training delivered before the audit initiated.
As the deployment method I would prefer the old school face to face with additional of how the last audit goes. It is to give the new auditor sense of how the last performance of 5S. The best if you can give the last audit findings and area of improvement.
