If each tool has a “home”, i.e. a special and permanent place allocated to it, workers can find the tool quickly and are encouraged to use the right tool at all times.
If tools do not have “homes”, some workers lose time searching for lost tools. Providing a “home” for each tool is an effective way to prevent this time loss.
Tools stored in their special places can be seen at a glance.Their inventory is therefore easy.This is a great help for good maintenance.
