Safety-Focused Shutdown Mentality

On today's episode, we'll be covering having a Shutdown Mentality.

If you’ve ever worked in a factory, you’ve probably experienced a summer or holiday (usually Thanksgiving or Christmas) shutdown. These shutdowns usually occur during slower times of the year and are usually only staffed by maintenance and volunteers. The overall idea is to tackle maintenance, cleaning, and changeovers without the entire staff and operation being present. However, working in a warehouse, you know shutdowns aren’t always an option. This is especially the case if you work in a distribution setting where there’s a hive-like hustle and bustle 24/7/365. But that doesn’t mean you can’t adopt a Shutdown Mentality.

If you follow a 5S/6S (with safety Included) Methodology at your location, you’re pretty much already doing it. In the simplest of terms, it’s the organization, cleanliness, safety, and a continued quest of making things better. Some tasks, such as putting down new tape or the above-mentioned changeover or maintenance of equipment, still might require temporarily limiting access to a certain area. However, if you keep a Shutdown Mentality, it’s likely you’ll create a workplace that’s always top-notch.
