Free lean templates: print them, fill them in by hand and let an AI agent read them
The lean manufacturing forms people actually use on the floor, free and printable. They're built so the iLEAN Connect AI agent reads them the first time from a photo: paper stays paper, but every sheet ends up in your plant memory, where you can ask it questions.
Pick yours, download it, try it.
5S audit
Scores by area and by S, how they move audit after audit, and a check against a photo of the area: it flags what the photo doesn't back up.
8D report
Every open 8D, which discipline it's in, which actions are due, and which causes repeat by customer or part.
A3 report
The status of every A3, its countermeasures and dates, and the problems that keep coming back in other A3s.
Fishbone diagram
Causes that repeat across diagrams, by 6M category, and which ones were confirmed when checked.
5 whys analysis
Why-chains that end in the same root cause and countermeasures that are still open.
Root cause analysis
Events by type and area, their root causes and the actions nobody has verified.
Kaizen form
Improvements by area and by person, how many get implemented, and the total savings they claim.
Gemba walk checklist
Findings from every walk, actions still open, and what keeps showing up in the same area.
Process FMEA
The failure modes with the highest RPN, pending actions and how the risk drops after each revision.
SMED changeover sheet
Changeover time by machine, internal vs. external time and how it improves changeover after changeover.
Nonconformance report (NCR)
Repeats and cost by supplier, part and area, and corrective actions without an effectiveness check.
Layered process audit (LPA)
Failing questions by area and shift, and whether every layer is doing their audits.
Time study sheet
Every stopwatch reading in a spreadsheet, with the averages and standard time checked.
Daily inspection checklist
Which equipment fails the check, which item fails most and who skipped the shift check.
Shift report
Output, scrap and downtime by shift and line, the OEE that comes out of it and the top downtime reason.
Maintenance log
Downtime hours and failures by asset, the parts used most and which PM is due.
Not rolled out yet, or already have your own form?
Start with ours
Download the template, print it and hand it out. It's built so the AI agent reads it the first time: labels inside every box and a code in the top-right corner.
Keep yours
If your company already has its own form and you can't change it, snap a photo of it anyway. The agent learns it from the first one and reads it every time after.
Ask from your phone
Every reviewed sheet goes into your plant memory. Ask in plain English and it answers, citing which sheets each number comes from.
