Benefits of Bar Coding and Labeling

Reduces your maintenance and production costs... Proper signage and labeling puts information right at the point of need such as equipment, pipes, aisles, doorways and wherever else identification is needed. A well labeled facility means contractors, maintenance personnel, new employees and visitors don't waste time searching for information.  It reduces accidents, improves safety and lowers worker's compensation insurance and medical costs.

The benefits of good labeling and signage in general include:

• Reduce costly errors, which in turn decreases the amount of scrapped material and damaged equipment.
  
  
• Improves operations and production efficiency. Increases training effectiveness, which reduces training time and costs.
  
  
• Proper labeling reduces accidents, improves safety, and lowers work's comp. insurance and medical costs.
  
  
• According to the National Safety Council (2001 data) the average cost for a non-disabling injury is $7,000. The average cost for a disabling injury is about $29,000.
  
  
• Proper labeling reduces downtime which increases productivity.
  
  
• Improves maintenance efficiency which reduces maintenance costs. Improves housekeeping programs - a cleaner, neater, more efficient looking facility helps impress potential customers.
  
  
• Good labeling and signage should be an integral part of TPM, JIT, 5S or other continuous improvement efforts.
