5S Management Methods Outside "Poetry" (3)

To clean up is simply to do thorough cleaning.

Find problems and correct them in time.

However, "cleaning" is different from what we used to say in the past.

"Sweeping" is only a matter of fact solving the problem of "environmental hygiene", and the goal of "cleaning" lies in "finding the source of rubbish".

In the words of Mak, it is "checking, checking and inspecting while doing cleaning work".

With the gradual deepening of the 3S (cleaning up, cleaning up and cleaning), the windows of the workshop and offices have been wiped clean, the corner of the sanitary corner has also been cleaned up, and the "key objects" such as storeroom, filing cabinet, file catalogue on the computer hard disk and various forms of ledgers have also had a brand-new look.

But everyone, including Hou, did not feel anything special about the "panacea" introduced by Mr. Mak.

However, Hou acknowledged that there are some subtle changes in the mental outlook of the people: People's mood seems much better than before. Some loose habits of "careless" people have also had some convergence. The statistical data submitted are no longer the "muddled accounts" of the past "unquestioning", and the work table and office environment are indeed much more refreshing.

This is certainly not the whole of 5S management.

Mr. Mak combined with the results of the previous stage of renovation, and said to Hou general: "the main points or difficulties of 5S management are not just to correct a mistake or to clean up some rubbish; the core of 5S management is to build a diligent, thrifty, pragmatic and disciplined professional quality through continuous and effective improvement activities, shaping meticulous professionalism."

According to Mak's recommendation, the company started the second step to promote 5S Management: after the implementation of the two "S", one is Seiketsu, and the other is Shitsuke.

The basic meaning of clean and tidy is "how to keep a clean state", that is, how to persist, make the clean and orderly work site become the standard of daily behavior standard; the basic meaning of literacy is "edify sentiment and improve accomplishment", that is to say, voluntarily carry out these very basic norms and norms in daily work, restrain their behavior and form a fashion.

Mak further explains that the latter two "S" is actually a concentrated reflection of corporate culture.

It is hard to imagine that customers will have a sense of trust in a company that is surrounded by garbage and dust. It is hard to imagine that employees will have a great sense of responsibility in ensuring a relaxed environment, a waste of work environment, and ensuring the quality of production and efficiency. Besides, information systems will play a huge role in a dirty, messy and poor business.

After a few months, it is a bright spring day.

When K Hou Hou led the new customers to visit his digital printing workshop, he felt a strong sense of pride in his heart.

The layout of the workshop is neat and orderly, the goods are in good order, the printing equipment is bright and reliable, and all kinds of signs are complete and eye-catching.

The computer network and MIS system of the company are like a "Youth" in the absence of new investment. It brings Hou Zong a series of "zero reports": Zero delivery error rate, zero equipment failure rate, zero accident rate, zero customer complaint rate, zero attendance rate and zero waste.

In the praise of the audience, Hou always felt that behind the introduction of a set of advanced equipment, it was such a simple and profound cultivation of "hard work" that he really replied to the old saying: "work hard" outside "poetry".

Mr. Mak also inspected Hou's MIS system. He looked at several computers placed in the planning department, sales section and procurement section, and found that the files on the hard disk were equally chaotic. Everywhere are random subdirectories and arbitrary documents. Some subdirectories and files do not know what is inside unless they are opened. And, Mr. Mak found, there are many versions of the file, out of date files, temporary files, wrong files, or one.
