At first glance, the audit sheet may seem confusing but with practice it becomes easier to use. One of our major concerns was for the 5S initiative was consistency. There are strong auditors, weak auditors, and auditors with different focuses. To remain as objective and consistent as possible, we implemented a scoring system based on a tally of problem areas. In other words...

# of problems = 0 then Score = 5 # of problems = 1 then Score = 4 # of problems = 2 then Score = 3 # of problems = 3-4 then Score = 2 # of problems = 5+ then Score = 1 Category = N/A then Score = N/A

Using "Sort" as an example, there are 3 categories to review. If all 3 categories are relevent/applicable to the area, then their score is out of 15 (i.e., with a max possible score of 15/15 and a min score of 3/15) If they do not have a red tag area (as they have already dealt with their red tag items and no more currently exist), their score is out of 10 (for a max score of 10/10 and a min score of 2/10). If an item scores an N/A, it does not contribute to the overall score in anyway. Each 'S' attains it's own individual score so that an area can see which 'S' needs to be worked upon. The final score is attained by (total points allotted [excluding N/A's])/(sum of the denominators from each 'S').
