From Chaos to Order in ORIENTJOHN: 6S and Visualization Management Successful Strategies for Landing

With the rapid development of manufacturing industry, factory management has become the key to improve production efficiency, ensure product quality and reduce production costs. Among them, visualization production, as an innovative management method, is gradually receiving more and more attention and application from enterprises. ORIENTJOHN visual production in the factory 6S and visualization management of innovative applications, and through the actual case study to show its effect.

6S management is a basic management method aimed at improving work efficiency and ensuring production safety. It includes six aspects of Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke and Safety. Visual production, on the other hand, is to present the information in the production process intuitively by means of charts, logos, colors, etc., to help employees quickly understand the production status and improve      production efficiency. 

Combining visualized production with 6S management can further improve the management level of factories. For example, in the tidying-up session, the placement of items is shown through visualization, so that employees can quickly find what they need and reduce search time. In the tidying-up session, the use of signs and colors to distinguish between different areas and items makes the overall layout of the factory clearer. In the cleaning and cleaning section, cleaning standards and inspections are displayed through charts to ensure a clean and hygienic factory environment. In literacy, visualization helps employees to develop good working habits and improve overall work efficiency. In safety, through visualization management, employees can find potential safety hazards in time and take corresponding measures to ensure production safety.

Visual management is a method of conveying management information through visual information, which emphasizes the intuitive and easy-to-understand nature of the information. In visual production, visual management plays an important role. Through charts, signs, colors and other means, key information in the production process is presented visually to help employees quickly understand the production situation and improve production efficiency.

For example, in the production line, you can set up a Kanban board to display information such as production progress, quality situation, and equipment operation status. Employees can adjust their work status according to this information to ensure smooth production. In addition, signage can also be set up to distinguish between different areas and items, making the overall layout of the factory clearer. At the same time, the use of color to distinguish between different states or priorities, such as red to indicate the emergency state, yellow to indicate the pending state, etc., so that employees can quickly make judgments and responses.

In order to improve production efficiency and product quality, ORIENTJOHN introduced the 6S visual production management mode under the leadership of General Manager Liu Qiang. By the production supervisor to take the lead with the implementation of the internal factory to set up a number of Kanban to show the production progress, quality and so on. At the same time, but also the use of color and signage to distinguish between different areas and items, but also in order to improve product quality production site hung on the process instructions and other relevant documents, after a period of implementation, found that production efficiency has been significantly improved, from the beginning of the workshop is full of material bags, empty shelves, production tools and other chaotic phenomena, to the present sub-divided into different areas of the neatly arranged, the staff can also be in the production of fast take / put materials and Employees can also quickly take/put materials and production tools during production, thus improving production efficiency and product quality.

In addition, due to the application of visual management, employees can also be clear about the production customers, production progress/quality, etc. It also enables employees to have a deeper understanding of the production process, and the communication between different positions is smoother, so that problems can be identified and solved in a timely manner.

Through the actual case study, it highlights that visualized production not only improves the production efficiency and guarantees the production safety, but also promotes the communication and cooperation among employees. In the future, with the continuous development of the manufacturing industry and technological progress, visual production will be applied and promoted in more fields. We, ORIENTJOHN, will continue to explore and innovate, further improve the management methods and means of visualized production, provide customers with better quality products and services, and make greater contribution to the development of the industry.
