5S is a Japanese term that stands for sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain. It is a quality tool that helps reduce waste and optimize productivity in any work area with visual control and lean production.

There are many types of standards used on the shop floor for different purposes. Below are some of the prominent types of standards discussed in TPS. Credits: Toyota Production System Learning Hub 1. Standardized Production Capacity Sheet: A document detailing the standardized capacity of production processes, including information such as production rates, cycle times, and resource availability. It helps in planning and optimizing production schedules. 2. Job Instruction Sheet: A structured document that provides step-by-step instructions for performing a specific task or job. It typically includes details such as major steps, key points, reasons for key points, tools required, safety precautions, and quality standards to ensure consistency and efficiency in task execution. Maily used for training purposes. 3. Work Sequence Sheet: A document outlining the sequential steps involved in completing a particular task or process. It helps in organizing and visualizing the order of operations, facilitating smooth workflow and reducing errors. 4. Standardized Work Chart: A visual representation of the standard work processes, including details such as work sequence,major steps, cycle times, and required resources. It serves as a reference for maintaining consistency, and improving productivity. 5. Standardized Work Combination Table: A visual tool that illustrates the balance between human and machine tasks within a production process. It displays work elements, cycle times, and sequence of tasks, along with the allocation of work between operators and machines. The chart helps optimize work allocation, ensuring a balanced workload between human operators and machines to enhance efficiency, reduce bottlenecks, and promote smoother workflow. 6. Yamazumi Chart: A graphical tool used in to visualize work balance and identify bottlenecks in production processes. It displays the distribution of work tasks across different time intervals, allowing for workload leveling and process optimization. 7. Quality Check Standard: A set of predetermined criteria or specifications used to evaluate the quality of products or services. It includes parameters such as dimensions, tolerances, appearance, and performance characteristics to ensure that products meet customer requirements and quality standards. #standards

What is KAIZEN(continuous improvement) in manufacturing Kaizen, or continuous improvement processes, often is considered to be the "building block" of all lean production methods. Kaizen focuses on eliminating waste, improving productivity, and achieving sustained continual improvement in targeted activities and processes of an organization. The Kaizen Process Steps: •Identify a problem or opportunity. •Analyze your current process. •Develop or identify an ideal solution. •Implement the solution. •Study the results and adjust what doesn't work. •Standardize the solution. •Repeat for the next problem. In machine shop, you can implement some ideas such as; >Identification for all the machines >Create a daily maintenance checklist for all the machines >Create cleaning schedule and housekeeping schedule >Create scrap removal policy >Required fixtures can be made for the machines to ease the machining process >Create process sheets for each process >Create skill matrix of the operators to define skill level of them and plan a skill development to train them for upskilling >Put standard warning signs (E.g, Danger sign, prohibition sign, must do sign) These are some of the kaizens that can be implemented in any machine shops. However, some ideas you can identify and implement according to your nature of work. Thank you Hanes K #kaizen #daily updates #shop floor development #cncmachinist #5s

When examining the 5S methods for manufacturing and assembly and the principles of design that facilitate collaboration between the design and production departments, the standardization of assembly elements becomes a crucial principle. 70% of the cost of production is determined during the design phase. Lean production increases efficiency while decreasing waste and labor loss, and it is well known that the process becomes more efficient by preventing product waste when the proper steps are taken during product design. Standardization expedites and facilitates bulk production. Additionally, it is critical that it encompasses processes such as assembly line, production methods, and product supply, and not just design. #InnovationWithSustainability #QualityWithEfficiency #sistemteknik #industrialfurnaces #standardization #leanmanufacturing #R&D

Do you wish there was a way to prevent errors and defects in your work processes? Look no further than the Japanese concept of Poka Yoke. Poka Yoke, which translates to "mistake-proofing" in English, is a powerful method for designing processes and products that prevent mistakes before they happen. By incorporating Poka Yoke techniques into your work, you can save time, reduce waste, and improve the quality of your output. Let's explore what Poka Yoke is, how it works, and how you can apply it in your own work to achieve better results.

🅟🅞🅚🅐 🅨🅞🅚🅔 Japanese term referring to a tool or procedure that is error-proof, preventing defects in order management or production processes. This tool or procedure aims to make errors difficult and unlikely, even for less attentive personnel. Poka-yoke systems can be implemented in various business areas such as order management or production. 🛠️ An example of a poka-yoke is a set of photocells placed in containers of parts along an assembly line to prevent a component from advancing to subsequent processes without all required pieces. In this case, the poka-yoke is designed to halt the component's movement to the next station if the light beam is not interrupted by the operator's hand in all containers containing the necessary parts for assembly. 🔍 Poka-yoke systems are introduced in two phases of value creation: ☆ Design Poka-Yoke ☆ Process Poka-Yoke In both cases, the goal is to eliminate the possibility of errors that could lead to defects in the final product. Advocates of these systems prioritize simplicity of execution to avoid non-value-added activities. 🔄 #ErrorProofing #QualityControl #PokaYokeSysteM #ProcessImprovement
