well, it's blue, so some would think it was the recycling can.

The sign is there to label the space when it’s empty, not the trash can.

Yeah, as someone who deals with people like this you’d be surprised the signs and instructions that you have to make just to attempt to get people to not do stupid ass things.

Working in Food Processing or Manufacturing means everything has to have a label, a place, a cleanliness standard, and all will be audited regularly. Then documented for any Vendor, FDA or Program Certifier to verify for up to 5 years, depending on the program.

Source: 15 years in food ingredient processing.

Looks 👀 like a Chinese spy balloon disguised as a trash can.

Not funny at all, just basic 5S

The point is not to state the obvious, point is to fix the place for trash can, so someone wouldn't store who knows what else in there or misplace the trash can somewhere else. In certain types of production environment it makes a lot of sense, everything gets labeled like that down to individual tools. Everything gets it's one specific place and if something is out of place it has to be cleaned up.

5S however frequently shows up in buzzword bingo. The methodology often gets badly implemented so that it brings no value, or worse, implemented in a place where it makes no sense at all. When in doubt, don't do it. And if you do implement it, don't just blindly follow the formula, adapt it to your actual needs so that it makes sense in your work environment.

Well I would mistake it for recycling. And certain places require everything to be labeled so there is no doubt what it is... So funny.

We had to start doing this shit a work last year. We even had to put a sticker on the trash cans that said "Trash Can". Like what the hell else could it be.

That's 5S at its best. When I worked for Amazon, they would square off the floor with tape for where the broom is supposed to go.

We do this at work too. I love it when we have a ergonomic mat taped to the floor in front of a workstation and the tape around the mat says safety mat or when the water fountain has tape around it that says water. I had no idea I thought that was an ancient woven tapestry and an acid bath ..../s

It’s legitimate to put the sign on the floor, so that it can only be seen only if the garbage can is missing. It also looks more usual to people who are not in the know.

Every sign is silly until you meet the man who made the sign necessary.

I thought this was at some stupid art exhibit with all kinds of objects being called art and to make ppl aware it was an actual trash can they labeled it. Lol

floswamp t1_j98garj wrote

This is not so much a description label but a location label. So when the knucklehead returning the can after emptying it knows where to put back.

Ahh yes. So difficult to find the trash can. The sign is a life saver

It is a ridiculous system were every thing has its' place and everything needs to be in its' place. Even the bin needs a marked area to put it and it must be labeled. Basically business management for gullible idiots. You are so lucky not to have experienced that site, believe me it wastes more time and money than a trade union.

Yes. Shine is one of the 5 S’s but this looks pretty beat up and dirty. The tape and sign are very much to set in order, standardize, and sustain. It’s art of lean manufacturing principles.

That trash can has a place and normally the tape is different based on what should go in that tape (safety supplies will have a different color from cleaning or tools) the signs makes it clear what should be there. Most warehouses or plants use 5S to easily identify when things aren’t in their designated place and clean.

It's so people know where the trash can goes if/when it's moved.

The idea is there is supposed to be a trash can there. The sign and striped tape is to let you know someone fucked up if it isn't there, and you probably better go get it back.

well tbh our work place has to use grey containers for garbage and blue containers for recycling so clarification isn’t a bad thing
