A method which speeds the filing process

• A. Archiving
• B. Color coding
• C. Double-checking
• D. Sequential numbering

Answer: (B)

Color coding speeds the filing process by providing immediate visual cues that group related documents together. When each category or department uses its own color, a clerk can recognize where a file belongs and where it should go at a glance, without reading labels or numbers. This quick visual separation reduces the time spent deciding where to place a file and minimizes searching later for the right folder, leading to faster, more consistent filing. While archiving helps manage active files and double-checking adds reliability, these don’t directly speed up the act of filing as efficiently as color-coded cues. Sequential numbering aids tracking but relies on reading numbers, which is slower than recognizing colors in a busy workflow.
