Red tag process
• Usually two different approaches;

• Team identifies and labels all unnecessary items


over a one to two week period within working
area

• Blitz approach; team uses red tags to only


identify items that cannot be removed safely or
easily. All other items scrapped or moved to
“crime watch area”.

Ongoing use of red tags
• There are a couple of ways to continue the
Red Tag initiative to keep clutter from the
working area;

• Allow the use of Red Tags at any time and


have a specific review day (every Friday?).

• Have regular (Monthly) 5S reviews where the


team revisits the area.
