Our workplace organization systems involve basic lean principles, safety procedures, and sound environmental decisions all other processes can then be built upon. When the workplace is organized and streamlined, performance and safety will increase, while site and staff exposures decrease. This is especially important in healthcare environments where lives are at stake.
With our experienced healthcare organization specialists, your team will complete a multi-step process that ties in environmental, safety, and transportation compliance into the normal 5S process of:
- Sort
- Shine
- Straighten
- Standardize
- Sustain
In addition to the 5S organization system, there can also be a 6th S (Safety) and 7th S (Sound environmentally). The organizational process works in any environment: hospital floor, administrative offices, clinics, waiting areas, and more. Typically, our workplace organization system takes three to five days to initially implement in a particular area
The process of 5S is not just about visuals, material flow, and inventory management; incoming and outgoing locations should also be incorporated.
After we complete the healthcare workplace organizational system, everything will have a home and be labeled. This process creates agreement between shifts on where things should be located and ensures each work area is prepared for the oncoming shift.
