5S is a five-step methodology for workplace organization and standardization. This app provides fundamental information and practical application of 5S (or 6S+ categories) with the ability to add default audit statements (or create your own for each category and subsequently score each statement on a scale of 1 to 5 displayed on a dynamic Radar Chart), text, and images in each category in a standardized, customizable, and sharable format on the cloud. Learn the importance and simplicity of 5S and utilize standardized guidelines to ensure each part of 5S is complete.
The Dynamic Kanban Action Item Board allows Action Items to be visually managed using 4 “buckets” of To Do, In Progress, In Review, and Done allowing for Assignor to track progress by a simple drag and drop function to each bucket. Emails are automatically sent to Assignee(s) for all Action Items.
The 4 buckets functions as follows:
To Do – The Assignor will create the Action Item and reside there until the Assignee receives the email notification and acknowledges receipt to the Assignor via email or text. The Assignor then moves it to In Progress.
In Progress – The Assignee will work on the Action Item and once completed notify the Assignor. The Assignor then moves it to In Review.
In Review – The Assignor will ensure the Action Item is completed and move it to Done, or if not completed, make comments and move it back to In Progress, and subsequently notify the Assignee.
Done – The Assignor moves the Action Item to Done once they are satisfied that it has been fully completed.
Beyond educational purposes, this app provides suggested activities for each 5S (or 6S) step for a customizable and standardized use of a 5S report and Action Item tracking.
