An inexperienced, but talented technician will often design his/her own work staging methods so as to improve his/her life while at work. Less damage to parts, faster work due to less time needed to search for stuff, less effort and physical strain, etc.
There are also people who will never, ever grasp this concept's value to the extent of doing it. Such a person will use a 5-gallon bucket for sockets and pipe pieces, and just dump it out and sift through it when needing a part. Ugh!
So you can help this guy to figure out staging his area, and then ask him later how it went: was he less fatigued, did he have any trouble finding things? Reinforcement of this kind is important to changing behavior.
In the process, you would also be learning if there could be a more efficient way to position machinery and tools, metal racks and parts shelves, and if things ought to be cleaned, sorted or labeled. How is the plant's flow set up? Racks, then shear, then puncher, then notcher, then press brake, and finally hand brake?
It is also important to handle material properly. I could carry a 4x8 sheet by myself if I bore the weight in the right manner with my limbs, while positioning the material for the right balance of weight. I wonder if that guy knows how to do that. It can really take the strain off.
I hope this helps!
