5S Your Office

Here's an example of the 5S organization methodology applied to one's workspace in an office environment. I noticed there are not a lot of examples of this application. Hopefully, my little tour will provide valuable information to someone wishing to use 5S in their office. More information about 5S can be found on Wikipedia and various process improvement websites.

Great video and real genuine effort. I am a trainer and I would like to show this to my trainees. Can you please send me the link and the name of the organisation to whom I should give credit.

@cpchandrasekaran I'm happy to hear the video will be useful to you. I didn't take the video from any website, but created and uploaded it on my own. You can give credit to Darrell Underwood.

you mentioned foam cut outs for one of the draws, do you know how to cut the foam to the shape of the tool, interested in seeing when your done, excellent clip.

[darrell385]

@midcitygym I ended up not putting anything else in the drawer and never needed to use foam. Foam is easy to use. Take a look at your local hardware and discount stores to see your options. You'll need a thin foam for the bottom and a thicker foam to place on top. Cut the foam to size and place your items on top of the thick foam arranged in an orderly manner. Take a marker and trace around each item. Use an X-acto knife to cut along the line.

@midcitygym Use spray adhesive to secure the thin piece of foam first and then the thick piece. Read the directions. How you use the spray will determine the strength of the bond. Once it's dry, place your items and you are ready to go!
