To comprehensively enhance on-site production management levels, empower manufacturing efficiency improvements, Changzhou Lirang Weighing Equipment organized a '5S Special Training' for all grassroots managers on May 23rd. Through a combination of theoretical explanation and case analysis, the training systematically strengthens the grassroots managers' understanding and execution capabilities of 5S management, promoting a deep transformation towards refined and standardized production sites, laying a solid foundation for high-quality enterprise development.

Why is 5S management considered 'critical on-site productivity'?

Core Concept:

From 'formal cleanliness' to building an efficient, safe, and sustainable production environment.

Through five steps of organization, arrangement, cleaning, sanitation, and discipline, achieve the '8 Zero Goals' (zero accidents, zero waste, zero defects, etc.).

Core Benefits:

Efficiency Improvement: Reduce more than 30% of unnecessary actions and shorten material search time.

Cost Optimization: Avoid resource wastage and extend equipment lifespan.

Cultural Upgrade: Cultivate employees' self-discipline and form a management culture where everyone participates and continuous improvement is encouraged.

Execution challenges and breakthrough tools

This training session is hosted by Mr. Lu from the Quality Department. It combines benchmark cases from the automotive and electronics industries to deeply analyze the pain points of implementing 5S:

Common issues:

Signage confusion (boards not updated, unclear area divisions).

Safety hazards (fire exits blocked, steel coils improperly stacked).

Difficulty in solidifying employee habits (tools not returned to their places, inspection forms incomplete).

Breakthrough tools:

Red Card Method: Mark problem areas and set deadlines for rectification.

Fixed-point Photography: Use photos to compare improvement effects and motivate the team.

Three Standardizations Management: Transition from 'formality' to 'habitual practice' through the PDCA cycle to solidify results.

Training highlights and action plan

On-site case teaching: Dissecting Toyota's 5S implementation path, emphasizing 'full participation' and 'leadership by example'.

Practical exercises: Group simulation of workshop scenarios, hands-on practice of 'material classification', 'kanban design', and 'hazard identification'.

Action plan:

Short-term goal: Complete standardization of workshop signage within one month.

Long-term planning: Incorporate 5S into performance evaluations, selecting 'benchmark teams' every quarter.

This training is not just about conveying concepts but also serves as the starting point for action upgrades. Changzhou Lirang Weighing Instruments will continue to leverage 5S management:

Environmental upgrade: Create an 'at-a-glance' smart workshop, introducing digital kanban systems.

Talent empowerment: Regularly conduct '5S Expert' skill competitions to strengthen grassroots management capabilities.

Cultural deepening: Stimulate full-scale innovation through the 'Improvement Proposal Award' mechanism.
