the word "shaking up" has confused you, i believe. "shaking" basically is a verb/an act of moving an object in harmonic motion to correct/neutralize a situation. but in this sentence it means like, when something goes wrong/ not working/ not up to the mark, then you shake/correct the current position/ situation.
its is like an old rusty bolt which you try to open but cannot. then you hit/rub/vibrate the bolt to remove the rust and free up the bolt.
