If you're a seasoned Podcast Listener, this podcast will be different from most you listen to. It's based on exactly what the name implies - Warehouse Safety Tips. And since the people in that industry are busy - we know time is money so each episode will be as short and to the point as possible.
And now that all that is out of the way - let's get to the Podcast!
The 5S Methodology - Sort
It's very easy for areas to get cluttered. Think about THAT (Maybe even THOSE) drawer, closet, or room where you put all your extra stuff. Almost everyone has one. Now imagine trying to be productive with clutter like that around. It's very difficult to stay organized in a disorganized area. That's where the first "S" of The 5S Methodology comes in.
The "S" we're talking about is Sort.
Sorting - as it applies to The 5S Methodology - is going through your work areas and facility and determining what's essential and non-essential.
Sounds simple. Much like everything in our lives - it's easy to do and not to do. However, this simple streamlining allows you and your co-workers to perform tasks with the needed items. Nothing else gets in the way. And by doing so - enhances the potential of operating at a peak performance level.
Next week, we'll discuss the next "S" of The 5S Methodology - Straighten.
Until then - thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.
Have a great week, and STAY SAFE!
