Thanks for explaining what 5S is. I've just applied it to my 3D printing area. Not perfect but everything in one place. I like it, might reorganize some other areas into "workstations" too.I look after some generators at a place that runs it.
For them it really works. I think if you use the good bits and use it in the right place then it’s handy.
They don’t have a massive central toolbox. They have a few tools near where they get used. No point having 8-24 spanners if the machine only uses 13, 17 and 19 for instance.
Like all these things it gets taken too far then unravels.
As far as thread goes, I hate mess. I dislike untidy workshops. I work in a couple that are just like a junk shop but with broken lorries in.
My own workshop is beyond where I like it to be. It’s an embarrassment at the moment. I’ve got everything everywhere while I’ve got some re wiring happening. It’s taking far longer than I anticipated and it’s doing my head in!!
