According to LEAN Hospitals author, Mark Graban, "Before Lean, most supplies are kept in closed cabinets or drawers, which create waste as employees search for items and cannot see what is located where. With improved organization, employees will no longer waste time opening multiple cabinets or drawers, searching for what they need. When determining storage locations, LEAN leaders challenge the need to store items in closed cabinets or drawers. Well-organized departments are not afraid to keep supplies visible and in the open, since we will no longer have the piles of disorganized supplies we used to hide behind doors, as pictured in figures 6.1 and 6.2. Hiding the old mess behind closed doors was often a workaround to the problem of not keeping things organized."
Are you kidding? Really? This sounds so dumb. Fo real. 'Nuf said.
