Also, feel free to ask questions via the Q&A function anytime during the presentation. We'll attempt to answer all your questions, but if your question isn't answered today at the end of the webinar, we will send an email follow up answering those questions. This session is being recorded and it will be sent to you following the presentation for your own purposes or to share with others. Maribeth: Now, I'd like to introduce our speaker. David Visco is a 5S expert. Beginning in 1985, David launched his career as a warehouse control manager, running a distribution center that managed inventory of over $500 million in value. As he furthered his career, he gained extensive experience across warehouse, production planning, logistics and materials management. Using 5S in the workplace, he saw a unique opportunity and need for 5S resource. Maribeth: And in 2006, he founded The 5S Store, the first online store dedicated entirely to 5S. The 5S Store provides a massive range of 5S products, free best practices content and coaching services to thousands of clients. In 2015, his first book, 5S Made Easy, was published. Today in addition to his role at The 5S Store, He frequently speaks publicly on the topic of 5S best practices. Take it away, David. David: Thanks Maribeth and thanks everybody. I appreciate you coming today. So we're going to talk about some best practices for market. Yes, we are. Sorry, I'm having a little technical glitch here. Yeah, bear with me one minute. Here we go. Sorry about that. Oh man. All right, let's see. Just do one other thing. Hey, you got to love technology. All right, so get right to it. David: Best practices, so our agenda today is going to be where floor marking falls in the 5S process, common applications, how to improve safety with floor marking, social distancing consideration. Certainly a topic of discussion these days. Tips for choosing the right tape for your environment. Installation tips, some OSHA guidelines, and then we'll do a Q&A. David: All right. So where does floor marking fall within 5S? For the most part, it's in the set in order phase. So that's where set everything in place, place for everything, everything in its place. Additionally, and to some extent also it's part of standardizing and we'll get to them when we talk about standard colors and whatnot. But for the most part it's part of setting in order. David: So first things first, you need to have color standards. I can tell you as many times, actually I have an example of a client that I went to, they were starting their 5S program. They had a lot of really good things going on and we walked out onto the floor and I see various colors of tape on the floor, marking off pallets or forklifts or whatnot or Kanban, what have you materials. And I asked the gentleman because they were all different colors. I'm like what do these colors mean? Floor Marking Best Practices to Maximize 5S Succ...

David: And what he said to me was we just grabbed whatever color we happen to have handy and we throw it down. And I'm like, okay, well that's really not the right way to do it. The idea is you want to set up... this is part of standardization, right? Set up color guidelines. What I'm showing you here on the screen is an example of what I've used over the years. To answer a question that I get a lot though, there's no one particular 5S color standard out there, but right here this works really well and you can certainly make it your own. This is just one that I've used. It's been pretty successful. David: There's a lot of options today for different floor tape signage and whatnot. There's heavy duty tapes, there's thin tapes, and we'll talk a little further on, on exactly what kind you should use, but there's so many options that what I suggest doing is getting the 5S team together to figure out which tapes you're going to use. So standardize your tape, your floor markings, your signage, your footprints, your arrows, whatever it is that you're going to put on the ground. David: Agree to a standard, right? Get people on the production floor involved as well. And like I mentioned in my last webinar, you should have facilities involved, so even if they're not on your 5S team, I'd strongly suggest that you get facilities input on the tape that you're going to put on the floor and the signage, because remember the facilities group, they really, they take a lot of pride in the facility that they maintain and getting their input will really go a long way in the future. So it'd be really helpful if you get their input, get their ideas and let them know what you're doing. And make sure that they agree to the type of floor signage or tape that you're putting down. David: I also strongly suggest setting up a 5S Kanban for your materials. The idea there is, watch here, let me give an example of where this was really needed. There was a client I was at years ago and I said, Hey, we're all your 5S supplies because I could see them, they had markings and whatever. And they said, Oh well it's way down the other end of the building in an office that we're not using locked in a cabinet. And now I was like, well, why is it all the way down there? They need it down here. He said, well, stuff was disappearing and we'd run out of materials. And I said, obviously you realize that you need to have the materials within hands reach or really close by and they shouldn't be locked up because the whole idea behind lean and 5S is employee and empowerment and involvement. David: And if somebody wants to replace a corner marker or some floor tape or whatnot, they need to be able to find exactly where the products are. And they shouldn't have to go scarring for somebody that might have a key that can unlock the door, that can then unlock a cabinet, that's just not the way to do it. So what I suggest doing is just setting up a Kanban for your 5S supplies, just Kanban cards. I assume you guys all know what that's all about and then just keep track of it all. And once you figure out exactly what materials you're going to have and you have your Kanban set up, set up that material sheet of all the materials, the vendor, who you're going to use and skews and all that type of thing. Okay. David: Floor Marking Best Practices to Maximize 5S Succ... (Completed Page 2 of 9 04/22/20) Transcript by Rev.com This transcript was exported on Apr 24, 2020 - view latest version here. So I'm going to show you some examples of some applications that we've been involved in over the years. This one here was actually done at Kraft Foods quite a while ago actually. It was a distribution center, so it was just pallets in, pallets out. And there were hundreds of thousands of pallets going back and forth all day. And I was sitting there when I first got there and I just observed, right? Because that's the whole idea to start off sitting, observe, watch what's going on. David: So I was watching what's going on. I can't tell you how many times people would come across this massive warehouse floor that had about 25 docks and forklifts going all over the place. And people were just crossing and walking back and forth. Number of times somebody almost got hit. So is a great example here, we just use some floor markings or whatnot, some corner markers or whatever to mark off a safe walkway for folks, worked out really well. Excuse me. At this facility here was a solar panel manufacturer in Massachusetts and what we have here is incoming material. So they would get pallets of glass all day long for the top of the solar panels and they had nowhere really good to put it. It was spread all over the place. So I said, set a nice area up here for an incoming area. So everything that would come in here, we just sit until it was time to be inspected. David: Floor markings are great for dangerous intersections, right? So I mean this was a little over done, but it's there more to kind of show you an example. Quite often forklifts and pedestrian or employees are using the same space and they have to use the same aisles. And when that's the case, that's great opportunity for somebody to get hurt. So there's a lot of improvements today, forklifts have lights on them, and I'm going to show you another really cool solution to help against this, but floor markings work really well in this regard.
