Tool Check Cards
Tool check cards are an effective way to keep track of tools in the work area. This
generally works best in community areas where a large group of employees shares
and borrows tools. It is best to preprint the names of the employees who would
access and use the tools the most. If tools are checked out to people outside the
department, changeable tool check cards can be made for their short-term use.
This is a preprinted card for a maintenance technician.
In this example the department color coded the card with yellow to represent
maintenance. Other departments can have another color.
22 ◾ The 5S Playbook
The shipping departments use of check cards make it clear which employee
has the tape gun.
Use color-coded cards for different employees; the light blue card is for
short-term use of nondepartment employees.
Tool check cards can be made to communicate the status on the tool.
Hereare some examples:
◾ Tool broken
◾ Tool on order
◾ Tool upgrade
These cards can be made in red or another bright color so they stand out when
placed on the shadow board.
Do not forget that tool check cards can be implemented on larger tools,
such as power drills, grinders, sanders, and so on. You will nd the use of tool
check cards will help you keep track of tool use and breakdowns and ensure a
reduction in motion and transportation when dealing with tool use. Your tool
replacement costs will drop signicantly as well.
