As a result, this drives a seamless culture that supports Continuous Improvement and best practice strategies.
ADD AN IMPROVEMENTS/ACTIONS SECTION

ADD A 5S TRENDS CHART
So, chart progress over time and in real time. For this example, the board showcases different areas for the 5S objectives. Also, each area includes a dry wipe/eraze tracking chart for each day and the overall progress is shown with a red green status slider.
MEET SPECIFIC TARGETS
This 5S sustainment visual management board includes status indicators for specific targets and action points. As a result, it is absolutely clear what the target is and what actions need to be taken to achieve it.
5S Board Example Five
5S WITH OTHER DAILY MANAGEMENT PROCESSES
This board also combines 5S tracking with other metrics, such as Quality and Safety. Also, as well as dry wipe (dry eraze) updates, combine magnetic labels for visual status.
CHOOSE YOUR SHIFT PATTERNS AND STATUS UPDATES
So, this example shows a triple shift pattern metric tracking option. Or, alternatively, choose a double shift pattern that would suit a day and evening shift pattern.
DRY WIPE DAILY TRACKING
Furthermore, updating daily status for each shift is done by dry wipe (or dry eraze) pen. Provides an instant visual snapshot of your 5S progress. Likewise, enables seamless status updates between each shift team.
