The First
Step
Sorting
through objects in the workplace is the first step.
Everything
that moves should have a tag-- tools, parts, furniture
and personal objects. While the procedure is simple, the decisions
are sometimes agonizing.
Who
Decides?
This
can be a delicate issue. Generally, let the
person who uses or owns the item decides. When
several people within the work group use the item, negotiation may
be required.
The

simply thrown in the trash.

Appoint a review board for questionable items. (You may not need
the item but
someone else may need it.)
