What is a 5S Transactional Assessment?
The 5S Transactional Assessment is a tool to determine whether or not the standards of 5S (Sort, Set-in-Order, Shine, Standardize and Sustain) are being met in an office, or in a digital work space. The types of conditions being monitored would include whether or not the shared drive had clear rules for document naming or a process for moving old files from the “Working” Folder to the “Archive” Folder, etc. Once conditions are assessed, the areas that miss the 5S standards would be addressed.
