Very close to 5S from the lean manufacturing sphere.
1. Sort - get rid of everything which is unlikely to be used.
2. Set - a place for everything and everything in its place.
3. Shine- sweep and clean, now that everything is tidy take the opportunity to give everything a scrub
4. Standardise - Make mainting this part of your standard work practise
5. Sustain - Keep the new standard work processes in place.
It's amazing after a few weeks how much more efficient you can be when you get used to everything being in its place and not having to look for anything ever again.
