Case Studies

The Challenge

Items were scattered across multiple cabinets with no logical grouping. The family couldn't see what they had, leading to duplicate purchases and expired items hidden in the back.

Our Solution

• Implemented grouping logic: breakfast items, baking supplies, snacks, and dinner ingredients in separate zones
• Applied access frequency principles: daily-use items at eye level, occasional items on higher shelves
• Created a first-in-first-out rotation system for perishables
• Designed clear labeling that children could understand and follow

The Results

The family now spends 15 minutes less per day searching for ingredients. Food waste decreased by 80%, and the entire household can maintain the system independently. Meal planning became significantly easier with full pantry visibility.

The Challenge

Documents were filed by date rather than project or client. Team members constantly interrupted each other asking where things were. Supplies were ordered reactively, leading to rush orders and stockouts.

Our Solution

• Redesigned filing system based on project logic with consistent naming conventions
• Created high-access zones for active projects and low-access archives for completed work
• Implemented a centralized supply station with min/max inventory levels
• Developed visual maps so anyone could locate materials independently

The Results

Document retrieval time dropped from an average of 8 minutes to under 1 minute. Team interruptions decreased by 60%, allowing for better focus time. Supply management became proactive rather than reactive, saving both time and money.

The Challenge

Clothes organized by item type (all shirts together, all pants together), making it difficult to visualize complete outfits. Many items were forgotten or rarely worn despite a full wardrobe.

Our Solution

• Reorganized by outfit category: work, casual, formal, athletic
• Applied color coordination within each category for visual appeal
• Positioned most-worn items in prime access zones
• Created a seasonal rotation system with off-season items stored separately

The Results

Morning routine time decreased by 25 minutes. The client now wears 3x more items from their wardrobe regularly and reports feeling more confident in outfit choices. The system requires minimal maintenance and adapts easily to new purchases.

The Challenge

Tools buried in bins, materials stacked haphazardly, and no clear work zones. Starting any project required 45+ minutes of searching and setup, discouraging the homeowner from tackling projects.

Our Solution

• Created tool zones based on project type: woodworking, automotive, gardening, general repair
• Installed wall-mounted systems for high-frequency tools at ergonomic heights
• Designed material storage by size and type with clear labeling
• Established dedicated work zones with tools nearby

The Results

The homeowner can now start projects within 5 minutes. Tool retrieval is 90% faster, and the organized layout inspired more frequent DIY work. The garage gained 70% more usable floor space, and the system has remained organized for over a year with minimal maintenance.
