Finally Cleaning Up the Office (More productive?)

Filed under

So we are finally cleaning out the office. Right now the IT office looks like a storage shed and it is time to clean this place! What better day to do it than friday right? We are going to use the 5S methodology. Here is the definition of the 5S methodology according to Wikipedia:

"5S is a reference to a list of five Japanese words which, transliterated and translated into English, start with the letter S and are the name of a methodology. This list is a mnemonic for a methodology that is often incorrectly characterized as "standardized cleanup", however it is much more than cleanup."

Will this translate into a more productive, positive work environment? I hope to answer these questions in a followup post but until then I am going to post some before shots of the current IT dept office (aka Storage Shed). Comments are welcome
