The result of our work!

The result of our work: With our shadow wall for cleaning equipment, brooms and scrubbers lying around are a thing of the past. Trip hazards and hygiene risks such as waterlogging or cross-contamination are eliminated. Thanks to a clear color system – blue for product-contact areas and red for floors and walls – tools can be identified quickly and easily. Together with your team, we will define the right cleaning equipment in our workshop, design the shadow wall, and train them on its effective use. This improves hygiene, reduces search times, and increases efficiency in your production facility.

Customer testimonials

During the on-site inspection, it became clear to me as CEO how much time is actually wasted searching for brushes and brooms. It was high time we took action. My thanks go to opti lean and haug bürsten. By implementing shadow walls and carefully selecting suitable cleaning tools, we were able to significantly optimize our production processes.

A previous 5S workshop laid the foundation for this renovation and demonstrated the importance of structured workplaces. opti lean impressed us not only with customized solutions perfectly tailored to our needs, but also with close and effective collaboration. This partnership led to a smooth implementation process and results that far exceeded our expectations.

My experience with opti lean, implementing shadow walls (5S), has been extremely positive. The team demonstrates a remarkable willingness to develop customized, practical solutions for each situation, which are then implemented quickly and reliably. I particularly appreciate the way they think beyond conventional boundaries and proactively propose ideas for potential improvements. It's been a fantastic experience working with this dynamic team.

Shadow wall

Implementing 5S in production is challenging, especially when it comes to changing established habits. Mechanics' tools are often sacred, and transitioning to the 5S method requires expertise. Our goal is to provide you with long-term support in implementing shadow walls, ensuring the implementation is a complete success. We place particular emphasis on sustainable design so that we can lead you and your production operation to long-term success.

Do you want more efficiency?

Do you want to improve machine runtimes, speed up setup processes, and put an end to the constant search for tools? Then you've come to the right place! Together, we'll develop customized shadow walls in our workshop. These aren't just walls—each shadow wall is carefully designed, from tool selection to the right tool manufacturer. Nothing disrupts workflow more than tools that frequently break, remain unused, or for which there is no standardized reordering process. Are you also constantly reordering new tools? We'll show you how to efficiently and standardize your efficiency in our workshop to achieve a sustainable implementation of the shadow wall.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a shadow wall cost?

Size is crucial: The price varies depending on how many tools you want to store on a shadow wall. For a small cleaning wall with a dustpan and hand brush, the price is €150 net.

How long are the delivery times?

After approval of the graphic, the production and delivery time for our shadow walls is approximately 7 to 14 working days, depending on the size and quantity.

How does the 5S workshop work?

Our 5S workshop begins with a free initial consultation, where we discuss your goals and wishes and determine whether we can help. If so, the workshop begins with a preparatory task for you. At the same time, we will send you the necessary materials by mail. We will then meet via Zoom in a team of approximately 5-7 people to work together on the 5S method. We will design a shadow wall and successfully implement it. Four weeks after the workshop, we will hold a feedback session to make any necessary adjustments.

Can I have our company colors and logo included?

We customize the shadow walls precisely according to your company's CI specifications. Integrating your company logo and creative design in collaboration with your marketing department is not only possible, but even encouraged. Our shadow wall not only increases efficiency and reduces search times; it's also an effective marketing tool. Imagine customers or new employees entering your factory and seeing your logo and design not only in advertising but also in production. A shadow wall designed in collaboration with your marketing department is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression.

Can you also design other boards, e.g. PSA shadow walls?

Yes, we design custom first aid boards, PPE boards, and equipment boards. Take the opportunity to tour your production facility with us. We offer external consulting to identify where our products can provide the greatest benefit in your company. All boards are designed precisely according to your wishes and specifications. With us, anything is possible!
