A good next step, at every stage

Start where you are.

From your first small reset to a recurring production problem. Find an example that feels like your work.

Six practices. One connected workplace.

See the whole picture.

Open each practice. Make the first change small enough to try, and clear enough to repeat.

01SortIs it needed here, now?

Keep what the work needs. Agree what can move, return or go.

Ask the people doing the work before removing anything.

02Set in orderCan you find it when you need it?

Give useful things a useful home. Make the next move clear.

Test reach, retrieval and return during a normal job.

03ShineWhat is hiding under the grime?

Clean to inspect. Find the source of leaks, debris and wear.

Fix the cause; a clean surface alone does not close the action.

04StandardizeCould someone else repeat it?

Agree a clear visual standard, a named owner and a review date.

Try the standard with another person, then improve it together.

05SustainDoes it last beyond today?

Make small checks a habit. Learn from the things that slip.

Use dated checks over time, not a single tidy photograph.

06SafetyWhat needs a closer look?

Notice access, storage and handling concerns throughout the work.

Verify controls on site with the people qualified to assess them.
