Label Organization
Label Organization
(OP)
Currently, in the sub-assembly area of my company, we apply anywhere from 2 to 8 different labels on a sub-assembly. We print the labels and slip them into plastic baseball card pages which are inserted into a 3-ring binder.
This works for what we need, but I have a feeling that there is definitely a better way to organize the labels after they are printed. Also, I have noticed that the labels sometimes fall out of the binder when it is being handled by the workers.
Just thought I would put this out there and see if anyone had some ideas for improvement.

Sounds like a lot of waste storing them and then taking them out again.

I plan to keep the labels stocked and up to date at each station myself so the workers do not need to make trips to the printer to make more labels.

I personally don't care, but you need to ask the question.

I'm hoping once the design becomes more solid, we can reduce the number of labels being used.

RE: Label Organization
Can you have the labels put on during the manufacturing of the parts?
Can you put all the labels on in one station?
Printing a label and maintaining stock is pure waste from a lean theorectical standpoint, 100% no value add. These are Kanban I hope you aren't actually tracking the inventory of each label. . . . you are just filling as needed.
If you know what you will be building for the day, can you just print the "days" labels?
Sorry for not just giving you an answer to your question, but there has to be a better way then taking up a bin with labels.
