This 5S Audit Checklist helps supervisors and plant managers evaluate adherence to 5S principles across work areas. Assess Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain with clear criteria for equipment, tools, materials, paperwork, PPE, and layout. Add notes and images as evidence, score each item, and create corrective actions with assignees, priorities, and due dates. Verify floor and aisle markings, emergency equipment access, ergonomics, cleaning schedules, maintenance records, and posted results from previous audits. Encourage management participation, recognition, and weekly team activities to sustain continuous improvement.
