5s Red Tag Area Posters Are Now Offered through Creative Safety Supply
Lake Oswego, OR (PRWEB) July 22, 2013 -- 5S programs were created for businesses to help them improve profitability, efficiency, service and safety. 5S focuses on having visual order, organization, cleanliness and standardization. Sorting is one of the principles of 5S and means to sort through everything in each work area and only keep what is necessary. Materials, tools, equipment and supplies that are not frequently used will be “red tagged” and moved to a separate, common storage area. Creative Safety Supply is now offering a Red Tag Area Poster to designate certain zones where these items can be temporarily set aside before they are permanently disposed of.
The poster is bright red making it visually apparent the space is reserved as a holding area for items that have been “red tagged”. The 36 inch by 24 inch poster is available in either a protected laminate or with poster hangers. An inventory clerk commented, “The 5S poster looks professional. We have the laminated version and would highly recommend it.”
Red tagging involves marking items with a red tag so that each item can be evaluated and dealt with appropriately. Red tagged items are collected in an area that allows potential owners to examine them and determine what should be done with the items for which they are responsible. This area can be easily identified with the 5S Red Tag Area Poster.
Sorting and red tagging items is the first step toward making a work area tidy, organized, and arranged so that it is easier to find the things needed. The end result is that waste is eliminated and additional space will become available. An additional benefit is that cleaning up not only makes things look nice, it makes it easier to spot maintenance needs such as an oil leak. It improves safety, eliminates clutter and confusion, and removes waste that interferes with getting the job done.
