5S Management Helps Haihuier Aluminum Beverage Can Production Workshop Reach New Heights

Recently, the aluminum  can production workshop of Haihuier has achieved dual improvements in production environment and operational efficiency through the implementation of 5S management, setting a benchmark in the industry.

In the Sort (Seiri) phase, the workshop conducted a meticulous inventory of all items, promptly removing out-of-use equipment, expired materials, and redundant tools. This initiative not only freed up valuable space but also reduced potential risks of material confusion and safety incidents, laying a solid foundation for the workshop’s efficient operation.

The Set in Order (Seiton) phase completely transformed material management and tool organization. Aluminum raw materials, pull-ring components, and other items are stored in designated areas by category and specification, with clear and distinct labels, allowing employees to quickly and accurately locate required materials. Tools around equipment are also arranged rationally according to usage frequency and function, significantly improving work efficiency.

Shine (Seiso) has become a key part of daily workshop management. The workshop has established strict cleaning plans and standards, requiring employees to thoroughly clean equipment and work areas daily, including oil stains and aluminum chips inside equipment, as well as dust on floors and walls. Regular cleaning has extended equipment service life, significantly improved operational stability, and better guaranteed product quality.

The Standardize (Seiketsu) phase institutionalizes and standardizes the achievements of Sort, Set in Order, and Shine. The workshop has established a comprehensive 5S management inspection system, conducting detailed inspections and evaluations of each area on a regular basis, with assessment results directly linked to employee performance. This measure ensures the sustained implementation of 5S management and maintains the workshop’s cleanliness and order.

The enhancement of Sustain (Shitsuke) represents the core achievement of 5S management. Through training sessions and activities, the workshop has helped employees deeply understand the philosophy and value of 5S management, gradually fostering good habits of voluntarily adhering to 5S standards. Today, employees have shifted from passive acceptance to active participation, proactively maintaining the workshop’s environment and order.

Since implementing 5S management, the aluminum  can production workshop has achieved remarkable results: a clean and orderly production site, high employee motivation, steady improvement in product quality, and a significant reduction in safety incidents.

In the future, the Haihuier aluminum  can production workshop will continue to deepen 5S management, continuously optimize management details, further enhance production efficiency and product quality, and make greater contributions to the enterprise’s high-quality development.
