In short, use a 5S Red Tag station to remove unnecessary items from your workspace. In other words, eliminate any waste of space. Likewise, support a zero-waste strategy. As a result, organise your work setting better and increase efficiency.
How the 5S Red Tag station works
Above all, it clearly states the 5S Red Tag procedure. Furthermore, breaking it down into steps.
So, for example:
- First, identify unnecessary or damaged items.
- Second, move the item to the Red Tag area.
- Next, complete the fields on the Red Tag.
- Then, attach the Red tag to the item.
- Finally, log the item with the Red Tag area owner.
Why the 5S Red Tag station works
Most importantly, the 5S Red Tag station succeeds because it is visual. Therefore, it makes the process accessible and visible.
The Red Tag process enables team members to rid the workspace of unneeded items or tools. It also enables them to try living without the item before getting rid of it for good. In addition, the process encourages a regular habit of sorting, which supports 5S.
Meanwhile, Red the 5S Red Tag station delivers visibility to the process. In other words, it is a visual cue and a facilitator of the process.

Our Approach
We create visual management boards everyday. As a result we have plenty of experience. We work for organisations in food production, the power industry, national rail, pharmaceuticals, education, healthcare, packaging and distribution.
Our team works with a simple idea or sketch and creates a professionally designed layout. This is then turned into a highly functional visual management board.
We offer customised options because we want to create the perfect board for you. So, here are a few examples. We can add magnetic areas or a dry-wipe finish (for use with whiteboard pens). Furthermore, you can choose Red/Green sliders or R.A.G. (Red, Amber, Green) status dials so you can quickly and visually update your board. These are just a few examples of the ways in which our boards can be tailored to meet your needs. You may also be interested in whiteboard overlays that can be used on top of an existing magnetic board.
