Many never considered the high level of safety, visual management and visual controls that are now a fundamental requirement prior to reopening. Social distancing signage, sneeze partitions, safe zones, plexiglass barriers demarcating areas to stand and communicate on shop floors, offices and elevators. All of these new safety and visual requirements may become daunting, confusing, costly and potentially counterproductive. Companies large and small are reeling by the rippling impact that COVID-19 has had on their business and now they are being asked to reimagine the flow of their business with change requirements that typically take years to deploy. As a result, businesses have resorted to rapid, deep cleaning, housekeeping, sign making solutions that may, in the long term, negatively impact their organization from a safety, operational, cultural and overall cost perspective. Rapid Implementation Many businesses are asking, “What do I do first and how can I do this quickly?” The fact is, this current pandemic requires far more than a “sign placing” strategy across your business. It requires a full understanding of the flow of your business enterprise and how to transition to a world-class visually controlled, managed and clean, safe work environment. This is all in an effort to remain safe, agile, dynamic and productive through optimized process, information and material flow across the entire business enterprise. Key elements associated with an advanced, “return to work” strategy may include: Reimagined workplace organization Revised deep cleaning standards Visual management Visual controls Optimized floor layouts Signage or space markers for co-workers to remind others to keep their distance So, what is the quickest, most effective, way to implement a safe, dynamic, visual, workplace that allows you to optimize my business flow?
