5S Audit
A place for everything, scored.
5S is the foundation of a lean workspace: Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, Sustain. This audit scores an area across all five and tracks the number over time, so you can see whether order is being built or quietly slipping.
What it is
A scored audit of a workspace across the five S: Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain. The score tracks whether an area is actually under control.
When to use it
On a regular cadence per area. The first audit sets a baseline; repeat audits show whether the gains are holding.
How to run it
Rate each checkpoint from 0 to 5 against what you see, not what should be true. The honest low scores are where the work is.
Overall 5S score0%

Worked example: a press station
Sort and Shine score well; the station is clean and free of dead jobs. Set in order is weak: tools have no fixed home, so operators hunt. Standardize and Sustain are the lowest, with no posted standard and no routine audit. Overall lands near 55%. The clear next move is labeled tool locations and a posted, owned standard, not another deep clean.
