5SRED TAGGING CRITERIA

When attempting to determine if an item is unneeded, ask yourself these questions: * Does it have a function in this area?* Is it needed? How often/many? By whom?* If we remove it, will it really matter?* Is it in the way? Does it take up too much space? Leave here or move to a new location?

“The right material, at the right time, at the right place and in the exact amount”
