Organizing your workplace

Organization. Saves time. Saves energy. Saves money. It’s convenient at home but critical in a fast-paced, precise manufacturing setting. It’s important to be able to organize parts, hold them securely where you need them, keep small parts separate from each other, and be able to insert them precisely into sterilizing chemicals.

Is your manufacturing area in complete disorder? Is everything crammed into a small space? Organizing your work area can maximize worker efficiency, shorten production time, increase the safety of the work environment, and ultimately save money.

Here are some tips for organizing your work area and helping the work to go more smoothly. Consider keeping parts sorted in wire baskets, using custom-made baskets to hold parts as they are dipped into chemicals, or keeping parts hung along walls to maximize space and clear up room for workers to move around.

Three M Tool of York, Pennsylvania builds custom wire baskets and racks for whatever purpose your industry may need. Maybe you manufacture razor-sharp stainless steel scalpels for medical work. Or parts for the inside of a turbine engine for a jet that must be exactly the right shape and size to fit together. Or tiny electronic circuits. Using high-tech precision software, Three M Tool can create the wire baskets you need, your way. They serve industries from medical equipment to aeronautics to electronics to foodservice.

These wire baskets can be built to withstand searingly hot temperatures, dip into strong chemicals or paint, hold heavy tools dripping with grease, handle whatever purpose you may need them for. It’s all about meeting your company’s needs. The company’s sister site, AnySizeBasket, offers a variety of round and rectangular baskets. But Three M Tool can create a wide variety of custom baskets. Whatever shape–from cylinders to deep long-handled crane baskets to shallow short-handled baskets, whatever size–from a few inches to several feet, this company can design any basket for a variety of solutions.

If you need a specially designed basket, you can just send them sample parts or a rough drawing. They’ll take care of designing and planning a custom wire basket to fit your workplace needs. If equipment and parts are jumbled in disorder, wire baskets can be used to organize parts neatly and keep them out of the way. If the manufacturing area is crammed into a small space, baskets can be custom-made to maximize space–hang them from the wall, the ceiling, etc.

Take a look at your work area, see where parts are crammed into small spaces, where they are difficult to organize. Consider what you could use wire baskets for–organizing, maximizing space, dipping parts into chemicals. What do you want? What do you need? Choices abound, from stainless steel to carbon steel, round to rectangular, large to small, whatever basket best fits your needs.

With the right tools, organization isn’t quite the formidable task it may seem when you first look at the jumble of parts around your workplace. Wire baskets can keep parts separate and clean and make work faster and more efficient.
