Red Tag Strategy
The RED TAG STRATEGY is a great
way to identify all of the objects that
need to be removed from the workplace.
When you see something that you think
may need to be removed, you literally
put a “red tag” on it. This is a flag that
lets everyone know that this item needs
to be evaluated.
There are a few actions that can be
taken at this point:
1. Leave the item where it is
2. Relocate the item
3. Dispose of the item
4. Place in “RED TAG HOLDING
AREA”
The Red Tag Holding Area is
a central location where you can
put items that you aren’t fully sure
about disposing yet.

Perhaps you’re not sure of the
quantity that you need at the
workstation. Or maybe you
don’t know how often you need it, or
if you need it at all.
