Case Study: Adient achieves plantwide 5S visibility and efficiency with Weever

With Weever, Adient streamlines the 5S auditing process, enhances visibility, and digitizes plantwide in less than 3 months

Adient, a global leader in automotive seating with a Liverpool plant of more than 450 employees, struggled to manage 5S audits using paper forms and Excel spreadsheets. The manual process was time-consuming, documents were often lost, audit failures went unresolved, and open issues were difficult to track, limiting visibility and slowing continuous improvement. Adient turned to Weever’s 5S auditing software to replace its paper-based workflow.

With Weever, Adient digitized 5S audits plantwide in less than three months, using scheduled audits, automated scoring, action-item notifications, conditional logic, and photo/video capture. The results included about 4 hours saved per week, a drop in monthly open issues from 60+ to fewer than 5, and a plantwide 5S score increase from 85% to 97%. Weever also improved accountability, reduced administrative work, and became Adient’s standard for 5S audits.
