17. – Step 1 – Preparation
• Complete Sorting/Set
• Prepare cleaning supplies and materials
– Step 2 – Determine ShineTargets in Area
• Usually grouped into three categories …
– Spaces – Office or shop floor areas including floors, walls, windows, lights, shelves, etc.
– Equipment – Machines, tooling, general tools, transfer carts, etc.
– Other Items – Cabinets, desks, raw materials, detail parts, production hardware, etc.
– Step 3 – Determine Shine Methods
• Define what will be cleaned in each area and what supplies and equipment will be used
• Initial cleaning takes longer, but once completed, daily cleaning should be a focused, timely activity
• Create standards for shine procedures to enable people to use time more efficiently
– Step 4 – Prepare Cleaning Supplies
• Should be obtained and made readily available to those conducting shine activities.
• Supplies used for daily cleaning activities should be stored in places where they are easy to find, use and return

– Paint equipment as needed
– Establish a visual location for freestanding items
