The Fricken Awesome Organizer: Efficiency Solution for MIE Office Chaos

APR Consulting & Design Firm was hired by UMD to analyze and improve efficiency in the MIE office. Through observations and consultations with staff, a redesign plan was created to organize Dr. Pope's office layout, mount shelves for better organization, redesign floor layout, and create a down draft table. The main problem identified was disorganization of paper handling accessories in the printing/supply room. The solution involved consolidating all accessories into one organizer to increase counter space, prevent loss of items like staplers and tape, enhance aesthetics, and contain scattered dots. Recommendations include terminating individual accessory usage and assigning an owner for the printer/supply room.
