10+

This Receiving Area 5S Audit helps teams evaluate workplace organization and safety at the dock and adjacent office areas. It covers office cleanliness, painted surfaces, floor markings, and defined homes for moveable items. Inspect lighting, wall clearance, dock doors and plates, signage, HVAC, and containment of MRO materials. Check for slip and trip hazards, tidy and functional computers, printers, and cable management. Verify waste and recycling bins are available and not overflowing. Confirm electrical panels are secured with three feet of clearance. Assess floor condition and the stocking and return of tools on shadow boards. Outside receiving, ensure empties are organized, no items are on retaining walls, and misplaced items are removed. Use this checklist to drive lean standards, compliance, and continuous improvement in receiving operations.
