How to implement 5S management in manufacturing enterprises

At the manufacturing site, we can often see the "5S" notice. However, many enterprises and institutions' 5S just stay on slogans and propaganda slogans, which have not really been implemented and have not played their due role.

Therefore, today, Xiaoke will not only introduce the definition, purpose and effect of 5S, but also bring you the key points and methods to effectively promote 5S. If you also suffer from not knowing how to implement 5S management, you may wish to find out. What is 5S?

5S is an activity to improve the working environment of the manufacturing site, which is taken from the abbreviations of five words: "Seiri", "Seiton", "Seiso", "Seiketsu" and "Shitsuke". Because the first letter of romanization in these five words in Japanese is "S", it is called "5S" for short.

among them, "tidying up", "rectifying" and "cleaning" are also called 3S.

"Tidy up" means to get rid of unnecessary things, "Tidy up" means to put what is needed in a convenient place, "Sweep" means to clean up and check, "Cleanliness" means to maintain a clean state, and "Literacy" means to form the habit of four "S".

sorting: dealing with unnecessary things

the so-called "sorting" means sorting unnecessary things into necessary and unnecessary ones.

in the field where a large number of products are manufactured, things that need to be discarded appear more or less every day. Leaving things you don't need in place may lead to accidents, and it will be very troublesome to find things you need. Therefore, unnecessary things should be dealt with in time and should not be kept.

rectification: put the needed things in a convenient location

"rectification" refers to putting the materials and tools needed for manufacturing in a specified location for the convenience of users, taking into account the working sequence and frequency of use.

cleaning: cleaning for inspection

"cleaning" refers to cleaning, inspection and other maintenance of workshops and manufacturing machinery to keep them clean and ready for use.

proper cleaning helps to establish a system that can easily find faults and anomalies. Specifically, we can consider the method of determining the person in charge of cleaning in turn according to the place.

cleanliness: keep clean

"cleanliness" refers to the continuous sorting, rectification and cleaning through manual methods to maintain a clean state. Has the effect of promoting the maintenance of a better working environment.

literacy: forming the habit of four "s"

"literacy" means forming the habit of four "s" and learning to abide by workplace discipline and rules. This will help to establish 5S activities and improve the moral level of workshop staff. Purpose of 5S activities

In the implementation of 5S activities, sometimes the "implementation" such as sorting out and rectifying becomes an end in itself, but that can only keep the workplace clean and has no more substantive significance.

actually, the real purpose of 5S activities should be the following three points:

1. Improve work efficiency &; Productive

In the state that materials and tools are randomly placed in the workshop, it takes a lot of time to find things needed for work one by one, which seriously affects efficiency. Another 1. Improve work efficiency &; On the one hand, if materials and tools are placed in specific locations, it will be easier to proceed in an orderly manner according to the working procedures.

In addition, the disappearance of the job of finding things also helps to relieve the pressure of employees and improve their enthusiasm. Finally, the effect of improving work efficiency and productivity is achieved.

2.? Safer

If materials and tools are randomly placed in the workshop, it may lead to many accidents. In addition, the use of tools and manufacturing machines without proper maintenance such as cleaning and inspection will also increase the possibility of deterioration and failure.

therefore, 5S also has the purpose of building a safe working environment and preventing labor disasters.

3.? Employee's ethical management

For example, if employees take it for granted after garbage falls, the working environment will only get worse and worse, which will easily lead to major accidents. Therefore, we can improve every employee's awareness of improving the working environment by carrying out 5S activities such as workshop rectification and maintenance.

in addition, employees will actively improve their working environment if they develop the ethos of observing 5S as a rule. Through the improvement of the working environment, the enthusiasm of employees will increase and the turnover rate will also decrease. Effects of 5S in manufacturing site and factory

In manufacturing site, 5S can not only improve QSD and combine maintenance work, but also promote IoT.

QCD improvement

the implementation of p>5S has a good effect on the promotion of QCD, the three most important elements in production management. QCD refers to quality, cost and delivery date respectively.

creating a good working environment through 5S can enable employees to concentrate on their work, thus improving product quality. At the same time, the cost can be reduced by eliminating the cost of finding materials and tools or reducing the cost of extra ordering because materials and tools cannot be found. In addition, putting materials and tools in a specific location can also improve work efficiency, so not only will the cost be reduced, but also the delivery time will be shortened.

Combining maintenance work

When implementing 5S activities, combining with maintenance work can help to establish a system for early detection and handling of anomalies.

For example, in the "cleaning" of 5S, not only the workshop and manufacturing machinery should be cleaned, but also the inspection of manufacturing machinery should be included in the implementation project. If you clean it regularly, you will quickly notice abnormal signals such as oil stains attached to dirty places and bolts falling on the floor. By communicating these abnormal situations to the personnel in charge of maintenance work and taking measures such as repair, we can prevent major failures or a large number of defective products in manufacturing machines.

promoting IoT

5S will improve the mentality of on-site improvement, and also contribute to the promotion of IoT.

the main purpose of IoT manufacturing is the visualization and automation of manufacturing machine operation management. Therefore, it can be said that eliminating the waste on the manufacturing site through the thorough implementation of 5S is the premise of promoting IoT. How to promote 5S activities

In order to make 5S activities permeate employees and make them meaningful, it is important to introduce 5S activities step by step. First of all, starting from the system construction, on the basis of setting goals and improving processes, visualization is realized through Check List.

establishing system and promoting understanding

when starting 5S activities, we should first establish a system to promote 5S, including setting up 5S committee and determining the person in charge. Moreover, set up an improvement board to announce the purpose, policy and system of 5S activities and share the progress.

In addition, 5S is divided into reserved things and discarded things in "sorting". If everything is left with the idea of "this may still be useful", it will not be well implemented. Therefore, it is also very important to formulate the standards of the contents to be saved in the "collation" and promote the understanding of promoting 5S activities.

goal setting

then, set the goal of the work and significance of 5S activities that can be * * * enjoyed by employees. It is suggested that we should not set high goals at the beginning, but divide them into the following three stages.

the first stage is when the 5S activity has just started and has not been sorted out. Set the goal of "thoroughly sorting out and rectifying to reach the state of cleaning in place".

In the second stage of clean and tidy working environment, we will set the goals of 5S activities as concrete achievements such as "reducing the rate of defective products" and "shortening a certain work by ten minutes".

in the third stage, we will talk about the ultimate goal of "improving productivity by shortening delivery time".

improvement process

after the p>5S activity begins, it is necessary to revise the existing methods into better rules by planning, executing, evaluating and improving them. For example, in order to fix the position of tools or parts in the "rectification", paste stickers with the same color on the tools and their placement positions. If it is difficult to understand and cause confusion, you can consider pasting photos of the placement positions and other improvement schemes.

Visualize through Check List

Visualize through check List when the form of 5S activity is determined. You can set up a check List and clearly want to meet that standard.

The checklist is designed for the major items of "sorting out", "rectifying", "cleaning up", "cleaning up" and "literacy", and the forms of minor items are set respectively. The following is an example of manufacturing.

for each project, we will set five grades from 1 to 5 for numerical evaluation. It will be more effective to make the competitive consciousness sprout by evaluating the check List of each department, thus promoting the penetration of 5S activities. The first step to sum up

quality starts with a clean workplace.
