Label & Sign Strategy
A key component to any organization
program, LABELING is the easiest way
to quickly & visually identify proper
placement of items, tools, and equipment.
This makes it easy for even people unfamiliar with your system to locate items,
and return them to the right place. It
also helps with sustaining organization
processes, because once everything is
properly labeled, it’s easier for employees
to keep 5S in focus on a daily basis.
In addition, larger signs, banners, or
posters can be used to boldly convey
messages of organization or safety,
including reminders of the 5S process.
Together, these create a great backbone
for any visual organization or safety
program.
