5S audits and Gemba walksSimple to record findings, but weak for action ownership and recurring review.Useful when audit governance and scoring logic are standardized across sites.Use audit, observation, owner, due date, evidence, and dashboard fields together.
Andon and abnormal condition responseAlerts become messages or notes, with limited visibility into response time.Strong when Andon signals are tied directly to machine or line systems.Use configurable alert intake, escalation, containment, and closeout records.
TPM and maintenance follow-upMaintenance issues are hard to prioritize and connect to production impact.Best when preventive maintenance, spare parts, and asset history are mature.Use equipment maintenance, preventive maintenance, inspection, and work request templates.
CAPA and standard work updatesRoot cause, actions, verification, and training updates are easy to separate.Works when QMS change control is the main operating system.Link root cause, CAPA, change control, work instructions, and training records.
