The 5S Methodology - Sort



On today's podcast, we'll be talking about the first "S" of the 5S Methodology - Sort.  



So - stay tuned.



You can find the show notes to each episode, links to the information mentioned on the podcast, the social media platforms we're on, and anything else related to the podcast at WarehouseSafetyTips.com.



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!



Before moving on - here's a word from one of our sponsors.



If you've ever been to or worked in a warehouse - you know just how important safety is to management and staff.  It's almost impossible to go 10 steps without seeing Safety Tape, Angles, Signs, and/or products.



These items show us how to be safe and avoid danger in the workplace.  And if you're looking for the best products to make this happen - look no further than Mighty Line!

  • Mighty Line Tape is the strongest floor tape on the market and has a beveled edge that increases durability for industrial brush scrubbers, forklifts, and heavy industrial wheel traffic.
