How to personalize your

5S or Lean Assessment template

In addition to the standard instructions for how to personalize your Systems2win templates, here are some additional personalization features unique to Assessment templates...

Unprotect the sheet

As delivered from Systems2win, the Template sheet is protected without a password.

When you want to personalize your worksheet, simply unprotect it. And then remember to protect it again when you're done making your personalizations, (to protect your users from "shooting themselves in the foot" when using your template).

Use simple text or User Substitutions

Some text is not translated

To keep language translation costs down, some text is not translated, especially for long assessment rating criteria that most people end up personalizing anyway.

To make upgrades easy, some English—only text is still linked to the Translation Table — to make it easy for you to edit User Substitutions in a way that will be automatically found and transferred each time that you upgrade.

Learn more about the several ways to personalize text.

Hide or Unhide Category Sections

A 'Category Section' starts with the yellow header row, and ends just above the next yellow header row.

Each Assessment template is designed to automatically scale between 5 and 12 Category sections.

How?

All you need to do is unhide any hidden Category Sections

(these rows might be hidden just above the bottom Total)

and then when you click the Choose Source Data button on the Scorecard sheet,the scorecard and radar chart will automatically adjust to the number of yellow category headers that are unhidden on the source worksheet.

Example:

If you want your 5S Scorecard to be a 6S Scorecard, then simply unhide the rows for the Safety category.

The next time you click the Choose Source Data button on the Scorecard worksheet...

voila!!! There are now 6 columns in the thermometer chart, and 6 axes on the radar chart.

Additional tips:

• Do not delete or add Category sections. Hide and unhide only.
• The first 5 Category sections must remain unhidden. (for any Assessment template, not just 5S)
• Do not skip a Category. There must not be any hidden Categories between unhidden ones.
• If you hide a Category section, make sure it doesn't have any History data.
• If your number of unhidden Categories is different from the default number of unhidden Categories as originally delivered from Systems2win — then use your Customization Log to remind you to make the same changes to your new template each time that you upgrade.

User-defined Category Section headings

User-Defined Rows within each Category Section

Each Category section can have any number of rows of your user-defined Audit Criteria.

Within each Category section, you can hide, unhide, add, delete, or move rows,

remembering to use your Customization Log to remind you to make the same changes to your new template each time that you upgrade.

Tips:

Do not use Insert > Rows

Instead COPY a similar blank row
thereby copying ALL formats and formulas.

Before copying/adding rows

first make sure that you have unhidden all 10 of the pre-defined rows in each Category section.

Each Category section needs enough content to provide room for the default chart height of 2 inches.

Word wrap can help to increase cell height: (Alt+ENTER)

How to get chart height exactly 2 inches:
Select the chart (using CTRL+click)
Then right-click, Format Object > Size.

Links to related documents

If you add Link Icons to your master template, then use your Customization Log to remind you to make the same changes to your new template each time that you upgrade.

Link to pictures

Suggestion: Use a Link Icon to link to YOUR folder that contains all pictures related to your process.

See example on the Sample sheet of your Lean Assessment template.

Subtitle

If you have multiple versions of the same template, you can optionally enter a subtitle in the space just below the primary title at the top of the sheet.

Example: The subtitles for your 5S templates might be 'Office' and 'Production'.
