1. Background
This housing association needed more filing
space and greater filing efficiency for
Housing Files stored in tambour units with a
capacity of 87 linear metres.
The Challenge
To implement a system that maximised filing
capacity, eradicated errors and prevented
misfiling. To provide effective filing space
for housing plans and drawings and to
facilitate the transfer from the old to the
new filing system.
Our Solution
Moduflex worked closely with the client to
provide a seamless service to meet both
storage and filing efficiency requirements.
Mobile shelving offered an additional 39.6
linear metres of filing capacity, the
equivalent of 7 tambour units.
3,500 end tab folders with spring clip
fasteners were supplied and an indexing
team pre-labelled the new files.
The final stage in the process involved
decanting and storing files whilst the new
system was installed . The files were then
refilled into new pre-labelled files and re-
stocked into the new system in the order
specified by the client. File retrieval time has
been improved by around 40%. A1 hanging
binders to house plans improved filing
capacity by over 50%.
