Well Ordered Factory 5S Management Law

Japanese factories are known for their cleanliness and order.

Through the 5S management method, they instilled strict concept of order into workers, especially management.

The logic behind the 5S method is that workplace cleanliness, orderliness and discipline are basic requirements for producing high quality products, reducing or eliminating waste and improving productivity.

5S represents five Japanese vocabularies: Seiri (cleanup), Seiton (reorganization), Seiso (cleaning), Seiketsu (Standardization), Shitsuke (training and discipline).

One drum, start the 5S campaign.

The first thing to do before implementing 5S is to photograph the workplace.

These photos are used for comparison when the 5S law is in full swing.

Carefully mark the location of each photo so as to get a contrast before and after the photo shoot.

The dates should be compared.

It is useful for color management to take color photographs.

There are many useless materials in any factory.

Mark them with red brand so that anyone can see clearly which things should be disposed of or moved away.

Formulate clear criteria, "what is necessary" and "what is useless", so as not to cause controversy or give excuses.

The brand must be hung by someone who does not directly control the machine and the work area.

After cleaning up the warehouse, use the letters and numbers to create a large label for each machine and its location.

When rectifying his library, remember three important points: what, where and how much.

The labelling will enable everyone to see clearly these three questions.

Open warehouses are better than closed ones.

If the mold and tools are hidden in locked cabinets, boxes or drawers, others will not see them, and the warehouse will soon be in a mess.

There are three parts to be cleaned in fixed cleaning process: warehouse area, equipment and surrounding environment.

It is better to divide the workplace into small area assignment tasks, and then schedule the duty order.

Taking turns cleaning is a good way, especially for public areas.

Draw a clean responsibility map, clean out the cleaning schedule, and determine the cleanliness, location and cleanliness of each person.

Hang the responsibility chart and timetable wherever everyone can see it.

Build up five minutes of daily cleaning habits.

It sounds like five minutes is too short to do decent work, but if you sweep it efficiently, you will be surprised.

Make workplace cleanliness standards. As long as everyone works hard, the workplace can always be kept clean and clear.

The trick is to remember the three "no" principle: nothing more than essential items, no heap and no dust.

In all 5S steps, the most important thing is rectification.

Review is very important and can be assessed with forms.

Carrying out visual control to carry out constructive criticism is one of the bases for implementing 5S training and disciplinary procedures.

The best thing to do is to create a workplace that can see defects at a glance, so that measures can be taken to remedy them.

Compared with the photos taken at the beginning, the factory should have a good time to exhibit the photos before and after.

Post photos in places that everyone can see.

Attach the 5S results to the photo.

If possible, reward the employees with the best performance area and encourage them to further improve.

Make more efforts to deepen the 5S offensive

Now your factory is clean and must be maintained.

This is only the beginning of 5S activities.

We should not be complacent and try to make 5S activities a habit.

To limit inventories, we should gradually reduce inventories and not interfere with production.

You can mark the maximum stock height with red markings (lines, labels and brands) and mark the minimum height with yellow markings.

Then gradually reduce the red mark.

In doing so, a strict inventory system will be formed, so that production can be carried out smoothly under tight inventory conditions.

It is easy to take and return items and make material reference marks with diagonal lines, so that people can see there is no confusion from a distance.

Write the names on all molds and tools, numbered them, and draw outlines in their correct positions.

The tools should be stored next to the machines used with them, and according to the order of use.

Mark each item with one color so that it can be recognized at a glance.

Persisting in cleaning and checking is achieved through effective cleaning and inspection to achieve no fault, no operational error and no stopping.

Anything that is related to the production process should be cleaned and inspected.

Carry out piecework.

Make sure to clean up the order every day.

Once the cleaning and inspection methods are made, they must be implemented immediately.

The maintenance work is done by the workers themselves.

Three key points for maintaining cleanliness, what, where and how much they are placed, are they all playing their due role?

Is there any standard to clean up the surplus materials in the workplace and warehouse?

If something should be cleaned up, who will take it away?

Can order recover quickly?

Will dust be removed immediately?

To what extent are people accustomed to cleaning, cleaning up and cleaning?

It's time to check.

The premise for the factory to adhere to a standard discipline is strict standards.

Leaders should be able to make constructive criticism and accept criticism.

It should be corrected immediately and found reasonable and reasonable.

If the workplace is obviously relaxed in discipline, the leader should make constructive criticism to the team leader, but not to ordinary workers.

The team leader is responsible for creating a workplace atmosphere. His input will have a positive impact on workers.
