Prevention Planning
Paint cleanup operations contribute directly to wastes, releases and losses. Inadequate cleanup can cause finish defects and rework. Paint cleanup has three substeps which generate a total of 95 gpy in solvent releases and 370 gpy of paint waste. The next step would be to identify significant losses, their individual causes and solutions.

Plant operations for this example:
paint preparation | part preparation | paint application | paint curing | paint cleanup | assembly, inspection & shipping
