Set in Order ◾ 17
Once you have completed the work area outline, aisleways, and locations for
items on the oor, progress upward and begin to organize the individual work-
benches, equipment, and tool locations. Before you start, do the following prepa-
ration steps to help ensure you set up the area properly:
1. Create a list of tools for each station, equipment, workbench, and so on.
2. Separate the pile into common and uncommon use items.
3. Create a list of supplies and other essentials in all workstations.
4. Stage the piles of required items and begin visual organization.
