Storage & Organization

A Place for Everything on the Floor

A disorganized work cell costs time in increments too small to show up on a report: a minute hunting for a socket, a detour around a staged pallet, a tool that walks off between shifts. Air Components supplies 5S organization products and crowd control barriers to manufacturers across Michigan.

Why Organization Matters

Lean programs live or die on whether the floor stays the way it was set up. Poor organization can cost an operation:

Time lost hunting for tools, fixtures, and consumables

Tools that disappear between shifts and get bought twice

Setup times that swing depending on who is running the cell

Trip and struck-by hazards in walkways and staging areas

Audit findings when a customer walks an untidy floor

5S gains that fade a few months after the kickoff

5S System Products

Key Specs

The visual tools that make a place for everything hold up after the initial push. Shadow boards, labeling, and floor marking do the enforcing so supervisors do not have to.

  • Shadow boards and tool foam organizers
  • Floor marking tape and shape markers
  • Labels, signage, and visual management boards
  • Bins, racks, and point-of-use storage

Applications

  • 5S and lean implementations
  • Tool cribs and point-of-use storage
  • Setup and changeover standardization
  • Audit and inspection readiness

Crowd Control Barriers

Key Specs

Barriers and stanchions that route foot traffic away from work in progress, lift trucks, and anything else people should be walking around.

  • Retractable belt stanchions and post systems
  • Fixed barriers and guard rail
  • Portable and weighted bases
  • Sign frames and warning attachments

Applications

  • Plant tours and visitor routing
  • Temporary work zones and maintenance areas
  • Lift truck and pedestrian separation
  • Loading dock and staging areas

Not Sure Where to Start?

Organization products are cheap next to the problems they prevent, so the question is usually where to start rather than what to buy. Tell us which cell frustrates people most and we will work outward from there.

We (Eagle Industrial) were using an old 50 HP air compressor, with little knowledge of what our true requirements were for air capacity, or what our electric usage was from this outdated piece of equipment. Air Components was able to do various tests and conclude that we could purchase a new 30 HP Kaiser air compressor that would be more than enough for our needs. They also made us aware of rebates available to us, to make this transition easier. The result is we run more efficiently, use less power and have better (more constant airflow) than before, while running a more reliable, newer piece of equipment. Our electric costs have also gone down in this process. We appreciate what Air Components and Kaeser were able to bring to the table for us.

Jeff Gillman and Rich Farmer are top notch. If I need anything or need to bounce some ideas off of someone, they are always right there and willing. Jeff provides exceptional customer service stopping in to see our team once or twice per week just to check in. It’s also nice to deal with his “No Pressure” type of approach. The entire team at Air Components is a pleasure to deal with.
