Use this Manufacturing 5S Audit checklist to evaluate Sort, Straighten, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain across your production areas. Inspect red tagging, removal of unnecessary items, storage standards, visual controls, and waste. Verify tool identification and shadow boards, material placement, PPE, floor markings, and stock levels. Check cleanliness, cleaning tools, schedules, and machine condition. Confirm team boards, documentation, and adherence to procedures. Score each S out of 10 and calculate an overall score out of 50 to prioritize actions and drive continuous improvement.
