Storage & Filing — Expert Answer
What's a color-coded filing system and how does it improve efficiency?
Benefits: reduces misfiling by up to 50%, speeds retrieval by providing visual location cues, and makes missing files visible immediately (a gap in the color pattern). Color-coding assigns a specific color to each file category, department, year, or status — using colored file folder tabs, label holders, or full-color folder stock. Common systems: ALPHA-Z (color per letter for alphabetical filing), JETER (numeric color coding), and departmental color schemes.
