5S Workplace Audit
Sort, set, shine, standardise, sustain – scored per area with photo evidence.
5 questions · 1 page · about 4 minutes to answer · fully editable after you start
5S survives as culture or dies as a poster, and the difference is regular scored audits with visible results. This checklist scores each S per area – unneeded items, arrangement and labelling, cleanliness, standard adherence, and the sustain evidence that separates campaigns from habits – with photo capture for the audit trail.
Publish area scores on the floor and rotate auditors across zones; peer-audited 5S sustains where supervisor-audited 5S decays.
