within the work area
SET – establish the “place” for everything
SHINE – clean everything as “clean as possible”
STANDARDIZE – document the cleaning processes and
expectations for cleanliness
SUSTAIN – regular audits, recognition and holding people
accountable to the expectations
9. SORT
Identify what is needed at the machine
Based on “current production” needs
For our machines would that be a shift? Or Day?
What Tools, Supplies and Materials are needed?
Only tools needed to set up and run the machine
Supplies & materials to get through the shift (day)
Red Tag and Remove what is not needed
YOU WILL HAVE CLUTTER IF YOU HAVE TOO MANY
TOOLS, SUPPLIES OR MATERIALS!
10. SET
Identify a “Place” for everything - Organization
Where possible, place tools and materials near where
they are used
Label locations – so everyone knows where items
should be placed and will know when they are not in
place (“Shadow” Tools)
Standardized Work Stations, Chart Boards,
and Tool Shadow Boards can make this
easier to manage
12. SHINE
Clean Everything
This means as clean as
physically possible
Includes the inside and
outside of the machine
Includes the entire work
area
Take pictures when clean
Machine inside and out
Work area
Work tables
13. STANDARDIZE
Document the cleaning processes and expectations for
cleanliness
Use these RELIABLE METHODS:
Establish Housekeeping Areas
Create Housekeeping Checklists
Pictures of the “Clean Machine” become the
expectation/criteria
Establish Housekeeping Audit Process
Visitor Feedback on Housekeeping
14. SUSTAIN
Regular audits, recognition and holding people accountable
to the expectations
Must have total employee involvement
Management must support the elevated expectations
Provide recognition for exceeding expectations
Provide consequences for failing to meet expectations
Make organization and cleanliness a part of the daily
routine
15. Reliable Method: PR Housekeeping Audit Process
The housekeeping audit process is intended to provide
a means of:
Evaluating the effectiveness of housekeeping practices
Identifying areas requiring corrective action to meet
expectations
Aligning housekeeping expectations throughout the
plant
16. Audit Checklist
Create a checklist of cleanup issues to be audited
in each area.
Each checklist item should be evaluated using
Excellent/Acceptable/Unacceptable
Points Awarded - 3 points for Excellent; 2 points
for Acceptable; 0 points for Unacceptable
A minimum acceptable point total should be
established for each area through the sum total
of acceptable responses.
The Housekeeping Champion should establish
the frequency of housekeeping audits.
17. Conducting the Audit
Led by the Supervisor/team leader assigned to the
area
Conducted by at least three individuals
Each person uses the audit checklist for the area
and grades the area independently
Must provide descriptions of why any item receives
a less than excellent rating
Also comment on “Well Dones”
18. Scoring the Audit
The audit team reviews and discusses the
results of the audit
The Audit Team establishes an audit team
grade for each audit item.
The audit team grade for each item will be the
lowest grade (point value) identified for the
item from the three auditor’s score sheets.
Compare score to minimum acceptable
19. Communicating Results
Audit results should be posted at the machine
The comment section should be used as a list of
corrective actions required
Teams should be recognized by the
Housekeeping Champion for “Well Dones”
observed
