Most of you reading this article have found yourself, at one time or another, faced with a mountain of work piled up on your cluttered desk, with a hot cup of coffee covering your desktop calendars, and very important Post-It notes stuck to your computer monitor, and your favorite rocking doll.
If this sounds like you, consider Seiri. Seiri is based on the premise that employees are distracted and less productive by unnecessary objects in their workspace. Instead of having a variety of projects piled up saudi arabia mobile number list on your desk in various stages of completion, they are organized into folders by priority, with the “highest” priority project at the top. They are processed, filed away, or thrown away according to Post-It notes, and your workspace actually contains space to work in.
Second S – Seition (Set in Order)
Seiri prepares you and your team for the next step: Seiton. Seiton is the process of placing objects in the right place for action. In a supermarket, Seiton occurs every time products are rotated on shelves, making it easier for shoppers to pick up items that would otherwise expire and need to be removed and thrown away, leading to further inefficiencies.
It’s also about placing work and related tools close together to increase efficiency. In an advertising agency, you might sort work by the medium it focuses on and the team that specializes in that medium, or by the industry or client the project is related to and the team that is most familiar with that industry or client. The idea is to get the right people, equipped with the right tools and knowledge, to the right job first.
Seition's motto is: A place for everything and everything in its place.
