5S Manufacturing Checklist and Audit Scorecard
This 5S manufacturing checklist helps teams apply the five pillars of 5S—Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain—to improve productivity, safety, and workplace organization. The template includes a scored audit covering common deviations, clear criteria for each 5S stage, and prompts to check walkways, storage, labeling, cleaning access, and standards visibility. Use it to identify unnecessary items, maintain equipment and surfaces, set height and quantity limits, and ensure daily 5S routines are followed. Capture recommendations and sign-off, and generate reports with photo evidence for issues found.
