For example, mosthomemakers store all pans in thecooking area. Yet during manytypes of preparation, water isplaced in the container first. Thus,it is a step saving storage principleto place several pans near the sink.Another example is everyday dishstorage. Storage at the first placeof use would be near the table.Storage at the last place of usewould be near the sink.Store items in multiple locationsif used for different tasks.Example: measuring cups andspoons might be needed at thesink and in the food preparationarea. Thus, two sets of tools wouldbe more efficient.Items used together should bestored together. Example: recipebooks, paper and pencil groupedtogether near a planning center;foodstuffs, mixing equipmentand hand appliances stored in abaking center; paper, foil, tape andmarking pen for freezing placedtogether.Stored items should be easyto locate at a glance. Example:canned goods stored one deepon a narrow shelving are easy toidentify and eliminate searching.Like articles should be storedor grouped together. Example:canned goods, organized in storageunits according to likeness ofcontents are easy to locate. Thisprinciple will also provide a visualinventory when the shopping listis made.Frequently used items shouldbe stored within easy reach.
