What does the "5S" emphasized in general companies mean? What are the five English words starting with "S"?

"5S" is the abbreviation of the five words Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seikeetsu and Shitsuke. Because the first letter of the Roman pinyin of these five words in Japanese is "S", they are called "5S" for short. Activities with the content of sorting, rectifying, cleaning, cleaning and literacy are carried out, which are called "5S" activities.

The "5S" activity originated in Japan and is widely implemented in Japanese companies. It is equivalent to the civilized production activities carried out by Chinese companies. The object of "5S" activities is the "environment" of the site. It comprehensively considers the overall environment of the production site and formulates practical plans and measures to achieve standardized management.

In recent years, with the entry of more and more Japanese, Hong Kong and Taiwanese companies, "5S management" has gradually been understood by the Chinese people and has blossomed in some domestic companies.

People all have ideals.

The ideal of employees in an enterprise is to have a good working environment and a harmonious and harmonious management atmosphere. 5S creates a safe, comfortable and bright working environment and enhances the true, kind and beautiful qualities of employees, thereby shaping a good image of the company and realizing the common dream.

In order to cooperate with the widespread 5S movement in the factory, the "Employee 5S Activity Manual" has been specially compiled. The manual introduces the definition, purpose, effectiveness, implementation essentials and significance of 5S in a relatively detailed manner, which is instructive. . To this end, we sincerely hope that all employees will study this manual diligently, understand it, practice it regularly, and continue to standardize their daily work step by step and persevere, so as to promote 5S activities to become "formalized---actual---habitual" Evolution, laying a solid foundation for the steady development of the factory.

In factories that have not implemented 5S, you can easily feel the mess in the workplace. For example, the floor is covered with garbage, oil stains or chips, which will form a dirty layer over time. Parts and boxes are randomly placed, and cranes or trolleys are used. Navigate in tight spaces. Another example is that the latest equipment that was finally introduced was not maintained, and after a few months, it turned into a defective machine. It was not known where to put the tools, fixtures, measuring instruments, etc., which showed that A dirty and messy scene. Employees seemed to be lax in their work, and the prescribed matters were only followed in the first two or three days. To change the face of such a factory, implementing 5S activities is most suitable.

Key points:

● The result of the reorganization should be a state where everyone can immediately take out what they need

● It should be seen from the perspective of newcomers and other people in the workplace to make it clearer what should be placed where.

● Find a way to make the items available for immediate use

Although it has been sorted and tidied, and the things you need can be obtained immediately, the things taken out must be in a state that can be used normally. Achieving such a state is the first purpose of cleaning, especially when the current emphasis is on the manufacturing of high-quality, high-value-added products, and contamination by garbage or dust is not allowed to cause product defects.
