Take a look at the 5S principles and start making them habit. In your current shop, there is a ton of clutter and that is slowing you down/holding you back. In the new shop, I'd start by insulating and sheet rocking, or at a minimum hang white melamine sheets on the wall. This will drastically improve the lighting AND it will help keep dust down, meaning you have to spend less time on cleanup. Speaking of lighting, get some flourescent ceiling lights as they will help a ton too.

For your dirty work, drilling tapping, sanding, anything that makes dust or chips, I'd have a dedicated area. You can isolate it with shower curtains. Have a good shop vac, and you can install it outside, with some PVC plumbing and have ports by each of your machines. If you have your drill on, have the vacuum on. CLEAN AS YOU GO. Also, I heard you mention drilling and tapping machines, you can consolidate them with a turret drill press, a machine that allows for up to 6 drills reamers and taps to be used on one machine. For your tapping, invest in a "Tapmatic". Also, not sure how many different models you make or the variances in the machining, but consider making some drill fixtures with replaceable bushings to speed you up.

Someone else mentioned having alot of finished product around. Where I work, the UPS guy only picks up once a day, and its about the same time every day. Figure out what time he comes (if you don't have UPS or FedEx picking up, get an account and start doing this), then figure out how long it takes you to pack a days worth of shipments. dedicate that time to pack and ship everything at once, in a clean, dedicated area. You might have to go in the house. Keep your poly bags, foam, boxes, tape, and shipping labels all together.

As others have said, invest in some better storage. I swear by those baker's racks (looks like you've got one), and labeled bins. Everything should have its own place, and everything should be in its own place. Commonly used tools can live on a 'pegboard' type mount on the back of a workbench, and less used tools away in a toolbox. Inertia reel type tool holders work good for wire snips, scissors etc, so they don't wonder off. Also, its OK to have multiples of the same tool if their used in multiple areas, so you're not always looking for your favorite screw driver, get 2.

And before you chalk the floor, do it on paper, with cutouts, its easier to move stuff around, then chalk it out.

For workbenches, I like the taller benches that allow for storage above and below.

Remember, clean as you go.

good luck.
