In short
Number every room and workstation on the new office plan, give each floor or department a colour, and put the workstation number on every box, chair and computer. In the new office, post the numbers on doors and desks before the truck arrives.
Four rules
- One number per workstation, from the new office plan.
- One colour per floor or department.
- A label on every item: box, chair, computer and screen.
- A sign with the same number at the new workstation.
Computers and cables
All of a workstation's cables go in one bag taped to the computer, with the same number. No hunting for cables when connecting, and every workstation is up in minutes.
Why it saves money
Without labels, the crew leaves boxes in the corridor and employees search for them on Sunday. With labels, every item goes straight to its place and the move finishes sooner.
