5S Warehouse Audit Checklist (Updated Oct 2023)
by fmkarachi dex, from the Community
This 5S template helps teams audit warehouse and logistics work areas across the five pillars: Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. It includes clear scoring rules for major and minor observations, prompts for labeling and demarcations, checks for safety hazards and visual controls, and guidance for cleaning responsibilities and material availability. The checklist supports daily standardization practices, color coding and signage, and confirms team understanding of 5S. It also covers sustainment activities such as training, daily Genba sheet completion, champion selection, issue tracking with timelines, and posting updates on activity boards. Capture photos, add notes, score findings, and assign actions to drive continuous improvement.
