Deburr Cart Floor Lock and Floor Home: Keep the Cart Parked in Its Standard Place

What is a Deburr Cart Floor Lock and Floor Home?

Why it works

This works because the standard cart setup becomes visible and reusable instead of depending on memory or personal preference.

• Knowledge reuse: The deburr cart is based on the team's standard carts, so a proven cart pattern can be reused instead of redesigned.
• Added value: The Allen wrench, oiler, tools, and consumables stay at the point of use, so the cart supports the work directly.
• Mistake-proofing: The floor home shows the correct parked position, and the floor lock helps keep the cart stable once it is returned.

Evidence: The transcript says the deburr cart is based on standard carts, has a floor lock, has a home on the floor, and can be moved for morning cleaning before being put back where it goes.

How to create this idea

1. 1
   Use a standard cart

   Start with a cart design your team already uses successfully. Keep the layout simple enough to repeat on other carts.

2. 2
   Stage needed items

   Put the required tools and consumables on the cart. In this example, the Allen wrench and oiler are kept where they are needed.

3. 3
   Add a floor lock

   Install a floor lock so the cart can be held in place during use. Make it easy to engage and release.

4. 4
   Define the floor home

   Mark or otherwise define the exact place where the cart belongs. The correct location should be clear without asking.

5. 5
   Reset after cleaning

   Include the cart in the daily cleanup routine. Move it to clean the area, then return it to its floor home and lock it in place.

Products and tools mentioned

• Allen wrench: Stored beside the oiler because it is needed to open the oiler top.
• Floor lock: Keeps the mobile cart parked in place at its floor home.
• Oiler: Kept at the work area as the place where oil is added for tool care.
• Utility cart: Wheeled cart for moving tools, parts, or materials between workstations on the shop floor.
