The construction industry has always sought ways to improve safety and efficiency. LEAN principles, derived from manufacturing, focus on eliminating waste, optimizing processes and enhancing overall productivity.
As lean manufacturers add a 6th S to the 5S process to emphasize safety,
customizable signs and identification labeling that stick securely yet remove cleanly can help to optimize the workspace
From the manufacturing floor to the warehouse, the 5S process of organizing the workspace to efficiently achieve consistent quality output is one of the foundational principles of lean manufacturing.
When you’re used to the way things are done, it’s harder to see the flaws. 5S is a five-step organizational system that will help remove downtime and defects from your operating procedures by helping improve your work space's organization, which in turn is more efficient and effective.

DuraLabel has just released Lobo, a laptop-sized thermal-transfer label printer designed to meet the needs of general industry, office workers, and field workers.
