What is the significance of the total score in the 5S methodology?

The total score in the 5S methodology is significant as it provides a quantitative measure of how well the principles of Sort, Set in order, Shine, Standardize, and Sustain are being implemented in a workplace. It serves as an audit tool to check off what has been done and identify areas that need improvement. The score is out of 30, and a higher score indicates a more efficient, organized, and productive workspace.

Execs can then use an audit scorecard to check off what has been done. The scores are all added up at the end with a total score out of 30. (Slide 20-21)
