Prepare the first operating cycle
Choose a physical area for a 5S audit and agree how its categories will be scored. Bring an improvement problem with an owner and an inspection subject with clear requirements. Include a failure case that can progress through containment and corrective review, plus the relevant work instruction if the change affects an operating method.
Use the implementation phases to agree authority and record preparation. Keep the initial scope small enough for the participants to inspect each handoff themselves.
Review before release
Have the Inspector record evidence and the Quality Approver make the eligible decision. Confirm that a failure stays open while linked corrective work remains unaccepted. Rehearse the improvement review and verify that acknowledgments refer to the correct document version. Check the queues and access with the operating accounts before beginning the live cycle.
