The meaning of the word Seiri is Classification. But we can also understand it as Organization.<\/p>\n

To quickly understand what this is all about, it's easy to think about the following principle: Organize\/Classify means keeping in each work area "only what is needed, in the quantity needed, and only when needed." It means organizing the ways of placing and maintaining necessary things so that anyone can easily find and use them. It involves placing objects based on urgency. That is, what is used most should be closest to the person. As we can see, the first "S" of our program doesn't just involve getting rid of items we're sure we'll never need. Nor does it mean arranging things on properly aligned shelves. In reality, the first "S" allows us to create a family or work, group or personal environment in which space, time, money, energy, and other resources can be managed and used more effectively.<\/p>\n

What happens when we don't classify properly?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The environment tends to be increasingly cluttered, making work difficult.<\/li>\n
  2. Shelves, drawers and cabinets are used to store unnecessary things.<\/li>\n
  3. Time is wasted searching for what is truly necessary.<\/li>\n
  4. It is expensive to maintain inventories of things that are not useful.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Think for 5 minutes:<\/strong>
    \nWhat problems occur in your work area or at home due to the accumulation of unnecessary items?<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

    What strategy do we use to put these principles into practice? <\/strong><\/p>\n

    What we call the \u201cRed Card Strategy.\u201d
    \nIt's a simple method for identifying unnecessary items that, once marked, should be stored somewhere designated for that purpose. This way, and after a predetermined period of time, people tend to be more willing to discard those items that are deemed unnecessary.<\/p>\n

    Some basic criteria to use in classification are:<\/p>\n
