Clean Shop, Clear Results: Why Norco Precision Prioritizes Daily Organization and Cleanliness
At Norco Precision, we believe that great sheet metal work starts with a clean, organized workspace. That’s why we bookend each day with two essential habits: a focused morning setup and a thorough evening cleanup.
These routines may seem simple, but they play a big role in our ability to deliver consistent quality, fast turnarounds, and safe working conditions, every single day.
Mornings Start With a Clear Plan and a Clean Shop
Each day at Norco Precision begins with a team huddle where we:
Review the day's production goals
Discuss focus projects
Lay out needed materials and tooling in advance
Tidy up any remaining clutter from the day before
This 10-minute process sets the tone for a productive day, and keeps everyone aligned on priorities.
By prepping materials, reviewing jobs, and maintaining clear work zones, we reduce downtime, prevent mistakes, and hit the ground running.
Evenings End With a Clean Sweep
When the last part is cut, formed, or welded, we don’t just power down and head home. Every team member helps restore the shop to a “ready-to-run” condition by:
Sweeping floors and clearing debris
Cleaning off desks, laser tables, and brake surfaces
Tucking away in-progress work into labeled, organized areas
Emptying scrap bins and replacing liners
It’s part of our culture—and it pays off every morning with smoother starts and fewer surprises.
Why It Matters to Our Customers
When your fabrication partner keeps their shop clean and organized, you get better parts, delivered faster, with fewer errors or delays. Here’s how:
Fewer Defects: Clean stations = fewer contaminants or scratches on finished parts.
Faster Job Changeovers: Organized tooling and clean work zones reduce setup time.
Improved Safety: Clean floors and clutter-free spaces mean fewer accidents.
Higher Attention to Detail: A tidy environment reflects a tidy process.
Whether you're ordering from Minneapolis, St. Paul, or anywhere across the Midwest, you can count on Norco to treat your project, and your parts, with respect.
Built Into Our Culture
Cleanliness isn’t an afterthought, it’s a standard. Our shop is set up with designated storage zones, clear labeling, lean principles, and shared ownership of the space.
Every team member contributes. Every day. It’s a point of pride, and it shows in the work we do.
At Norco Precision, a clean shop is more than just a nice-to-have, it’s how we deliver consistent, high-quality sheet metal work, day in and day out. From morning prep to evening cleanup, we stay organized so your projects stay on track.
