In lean manufacturing, the general rule of thumb is that anyone should be able to walk into a workplace and identify the flow of work being done within 60 seconds. One of the easiest and most effective ways to visually accomplish this goal is through the use of 5S floor marking. Floor marking lays the foundation for the 'set in order' stage of 5S, as you start from the floor and work your way up organizing the facility. The proper use of floor marking tape helps create order and pattern of work in your facility, which eliminates searching and confusion within a work area. Floor marking also helps to clearly define processes and cells in the value stream. Strategic, color-coded 5S floor marking can help your facility not only meet the 60-second goal, but surpass it.“In lean manufacturing, the general rule of thumb is that anyone should be able to walk into a workplace and identify the flow of work being done within 60 seconds. ”Color coordinating your facility floors, a new standard
To standardize floor markings and enhance 5S initiatives, companies can use the 5S floor marking color guidelines below. This color scheme complies with the OSHA 1910.144 standard mentioned above and can be used to visually separate processes, work areas and pathways. In addition, it provides recommendations for identifying facility storage locations for materials, product, tools and equipment.
The color scheme purposefully limits the colors included to encourage easy learning and ready recognition of specific areas in the workplace among employees. However, it can also be easily modified to suit the specific operational priorities, processes and characteristics of individual facilities.Other 5S floor marking color guidelines and best practices
