How-to
Complete this form as a
team.
Evaluate a process before or
after
5S improvements.
Answer each question in all
five sections of the form, rating the process relative to the criteria.
Examine the subtotal scores and percentages of each
S and the total score and percentages.
The 5S category
subtotal percentages and the total 5S percentage reflect how
well a process scores in specific categories, relative to a perfect score of 100%.
Standard cutoff scores do not exist for acceptable or not acceptable processes.
Lower percentages indicate areas where
improvements can be made. You should weigh the value of making these improvements
when deciding whether to go forward and when prioritizing the areas to improve
first.
