                        Open Plan Systems, Inc. Announces
                               Restructuring Plan

         RICHMOND,  VIRGINIA  (November  26,  2001) - Open  Plan  Systems,  Inc.
(OTCBB:  PLAN), an independent  remanufacturer of workstations,  announced today
the  implementation  of a  restructuring  plan to more  appropriately  align the
Company's  infrastructure  with  anticipated  sales  levels.  The  restructuring
initiatives   are  effective   immediately,   and  include  the  elimination  of
approximately 25 sales, production and administrative positions.  Severance will
be offered to employees affected by the restructuring initiatives.

         The Company  expects to incur a restructuring  charge of  approximately
$90,000 in the fourth quarter,  primarily  consisting of severance expense.  The
restructuring  plan is anticipated  to provide  annual savings of  approximately
$1.1 million and monthly savings of approximately $90,000.

         Thomas M. Mishoe,  Jr., President and CEO, stated that "The decision to
eliminate  certain  jobs and  restructure  the  operations  of the  Company  was
difficult but necessary given the challenging  economic and industry environment
in which the Company is operating.  Like many of our direct competitors,  we are
experiencing  decreased sales from, and contribution by, our field sales offices
following the  September  terrorist  activities.  This  restructuring  plan more
closely aligns the Company's  sales,  production and back office  infrastructure
and expenses with anticipated sales levels. Although we regret the impact on our
loyal  employees,  these  restructuring  steps are  necessary  for the long term
financial health of the Company."
