This MTI 5S and Manufacturing Process Evaluation checklist supports lean manufacturing and shop-floor quality. It guides walk-through audits across Sort, Standardize, Sanitize, Safety, and Sustain, ensuring tools and materials are organized, areas are clean, aisles marked, PPE used, and safety devices intact. It checks stray parts control, MRB/quarantine handling, and proper documentation. The audit verifies process flow against control plans, reaction plans for out-of-spec conditions, coolant logs, and document control. It assesses training records, employee knowledge of quality alerts and instructions, and proper use and calibration status of gages. It covers layered process audits, inspection records, first article and containment documentation, and overall process sustainment with comparisons to prior audits.
