How to implement 5S management in small factories

Features of factory 5S management:

1. Step by step, starting from the basics. To do anything, you must first be determined, and then work hard to do it. Things must be conceptual when doing things. If your concepts change, your actions will change. If your actions change, your habits will change. If your habits change, your destiny will change. Destiny cannot be determined by others, but must be firmly in your own hands.

2. Participate in all employees, start from the grassroots level, and turn it from formality to practice, then habituation, and finally standardization.

How to implement 5S management in factories:

Before implementing the 5S management movement, the first thing to do is to go to the factory site and take photos of the surrounding environment to store certificates. After the 5S movement is implemented in the future, take photos By comparison, you can immediately see the effectiveness of the implementation.

Clearupthearea. There are discarded or unnecessary items in any factory. These items are not currently needed for production and should be distinguished by red labels. Anyone who sees them will know that they should be moved or discarded. However, the factory area should first determine the unnecessary standards to avoid The dispute is then assigned to a third party (usually management) to proceed with the labeling.

Organize storage places. After the environment is cleaned, the storage room should be organized again, and the storage locations of various items should be clearly marked with words, numbers, colors, etc. When organizing the storage room, three key factors should be kept in mind: Where, What, and As well as the quantity (HowMany), the markings should be clear and easy to identify, and an open storage system should be adopted, otherwise it will be difficult to keep the tools neatly.

Consolidate clearing procedure. Factory cleaning covers three major areas: storage area, equipment and environment. Areas of responsibility should be divided first and cleaning responsibilities assigned to on-site staff. Within the same area of ????responsibility, a shift system can be adopted. It is best to publish the personal responsibility and cleaning project chart on site, where everyone can see it, and let every employee develop the habit of cleaning for five minutes a day. Five minutes sounds very short, but if you persevere , the effect is very amazing.

Pursue a clean worksite as a standard (Standardize aspotlessworkplace). As long as everyone makes a little effort, the site will always be kept tidy. The secret is to keep in mind the three "No" principles: no unnecessary items, no clutter, and no dirt. Until this standard is achieved, someone should be assigned to regularly check the scores.

Execute visual control (Implementvisualcontrol). Only with criticism can progress be made. The same is true for the 5S movement. An ideal work site should be able to identify the problem at a glance, and it will be much easier to solve the problem. After a period of time, the appearance of the site may have changed a lot. Please try again. Take some photos and compare them with the photos before the 5S exercise was implemented. It is best to hold a photo exhibition, which is the best education for on-site employees. In addition, don’t forget to give appropriate rewards to on-site units or employees who are effective in implementing 5S.
