Progressive Lean: Straighten and See Overview
Sort and Shine should be completed (or nearly so) across the plant before you start Straighten and See. ("Completed" means that all areas have self-reviewed four's and five's for all items and that the self-reviews have been calibrated by you.)

Here's what's going to happen in Straighten and See:
- Education for all team leaders and supervisors as to what they're to do and why (a two-hour session ought to do it)
- Team leaders will develop a Sort and Shine map of their areas, a list of materials they need, and a schedule for making the needed changes,
- Team leaders will start by labeling the equipment in their areas and its controls(assuming it's not going to change or be moved. If equipment is being moved or changed, do that first.).
- Then, following the schedule they've set for themselves, they'll make all the changes laid out on their maps.
- They'll self-review as they go.
