First, the meaning of "7S" activities

"7S" is the abbreviation of seven words: Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seikeetsu, Shitsuke, safety and speed/saving. Because the initials of these seven words are "S" in Japanese and English, they are called "7S" for short, and activities that focus on sorting out, rectifying, cleaning, literacy, safety and saving are called "7S" activities.

The "7S" activity originated in Japan and was widely implemented in Japanese enterprises, which was equivalent to the civilized production activities carried out by China enterprises. The object of "7S" activity is the "environment" of the site. Considering the overall situation of the production site environment, practical plans and measures are formulated to realize standardized management. The core and essence of "7S" activity is literacy. Without the corresponding improvement of employees' literacy, it is difficult to carry out and adhere to the "7S" activities.

Second, the content of "7S" activities

(a) finishing

The first step to improve the production site is to separate the needed people, things and things from the unwanted people, things and things, and then deal with the unwanted people, things and things. Its main point is to classify all kinds of articles actually placed and stagnant at the production site, and distinguish between those needed and those not needed at the site; Secondly, we must resolutely clean up unnecessary items on the site, such as used materials, redundant semi-finished products, chips, leftovers, garbage, waste products, redundant tools, scrapped equipment, workers' personal daily necessities, etc. The focus of this work is to resolutely clean up unnecessary things at the scene. The front and rear of each station or equipment in the workshop, the left and right of the passage, the up and down of the workshop, the inside and outside of the toolbox and the dead corner of the workshop should be thoroughly searched and cleaned to make the best use of everything. Resolutely doing this step is the beginning of establishing a good style of work. Some Japanese companies put forward the slogan: efficiency and safety begin with the end!

The purpose of trimming is to increase the working area; Smooth logistics to prevent misuse, etc.

(2) rectification

Quantify and locate the people, things and things needed. After the completion of the previous step, scientifically and reasonably arrange and place the items that need to be left at the production site, obtain the required items as quickly as possible, and complete the operation under the most effective rules and regulations and the simplest process.

The purpose of rectification activities is to make the workplace clean and tidy, clear at a glance, reduce the time for picking up and putting things, improve work efficiency and maintain a well-organized work order area.

(3) Cleaning

Clean the workplace, repair the equipment immediately if it is abnormal, and make it return to normal. Dust, oil, iron filings, garbage, etc. Will be produced in the production process of the production site, thus making the site dirty. Dirty scene will reduce the accuracy of equipment, cause frequent failures, affect product quality, and prevent safety accidents; Dirty scenes will affect people's working mood and make people unwilling to stay for a long time. Therefore, it is necessary to remove those dirt through cleaning activities and create a bright and comfortable working environment.

The purpose is to keep employees in a good working mood, ensure stable product quality, and finally realize zero failure and zero loss in enterprise production.

(4) cleanliness

After sorting, rectifying and cleaning, it should be carefully maintained to keep the site in perfect and best condition. Cleaning is the persistence and deepening of the first three activities, thus eliminating the root causes of safety accidents. Create a good working environment and let employees work happily.

The purpose of cleaning activities is to make sorting, rectification and cleaning a routine and system, which is the basis of standardization and the beginning of enterprise culture.

(5) Literacy

Literacy means education. It is the core of the "7S" activity to improve the quality of employees and form the habit and style of strictly observing rules and regulations. Without the improvement of personnel quality, all activities can not be carried out smoothly and can not be adhered to. Therefore, to grasp the "7S" activities, we should always focus on improving people's quality.

Objective: Through literacy, let employees become people who abide by rules and regulations and have good work literacy habits.

(6) Safety

Eliminate hidden dangers, eliminate dangerous situations and prevent accidents.

The purpose is to ensure the personal safety of employees, ensure the continuous, safe and normal production, and reduce the economic losses caused by safety accidents.

(7) savings?

It is to make rational use of time, space, energy and other aspects to give full play to their maximum effectiveness, thus creating an efficient and talented workplace.

Three concepts should be adhered to when implementing: making the best use of everything; Treat the resources of the enterprise with the attitude of being the master; Don't throw it away at will, think about its residual use value before throwing it away.

Economy is a supplement and guidance to finishing work. In China, due to the relative shortage of resources, we should adhere to the principle of thrift in enterprises.

Three. Scope of application of 7S

Management of offices, workshops, warehouses, dormitories and public places, as well as management of documents, records, electronic files and networks of various enterprises, institutions and service industries.

Factors of production: management of people, machines, materials, law and environment; Public affairs, water supply, power supply and road traffic management; Social morality and personnel ideological management. ?

7S site management method:

7S activity originated in Japan and was widely implemented in Japanese enterprises. 7S stands for sequencing, stress, cleaning, hygiene, literacy, rescue and safety. Its specific meaning and implementation focus are as follows:

Finishing:

This is the first step to improve the production site, thoroughly distinguish what is going to be done and what is not, and get rid of what is not. It is necessary to break through the concept of "it is useless to keep it, but it is a pity to throw it away" and challenge the traditional concepts of "it is hard to make it", "it is a waste to lose it" and "it may be used again in the future". Review the concept of "everything is used" frequently.

The purpose of trimming is to improve and increase the working area; There are no sundries on the site, the streets are unobstructed, and the work efficiency is improved; Put an end to accidents such as mismatch and mixing in management; It is beneficial to reduce inventory and save money.

restructure

Quantify and locate the people, things and things that need to be sorted out. In short, rectification is to standardize the way people and things are placed. The key to rectification is positioning, sequencing and quantification.

Grasping the above points, we can do kanban and carry out visual management, so as to refine the method of placing things suitable for our enterprise and standardize the method.

Thoroughly clean up

It is to clean the surrounding area of your working environment thoroughly, and repair the equipment immediately if it is abnormal, so that it can return to normal.

The focus of cleaning activities must be carried out in accordance with the steps of determining cleaning objects, cleaning personnel, cleaning methods, preparing cleaning equipment and implementing cleaning, in order to achieve real results.

Cleaning activities should follow the following principles:

(1), articles for personal use, such as equipment and tools. , should clean themselves, do not rely on others, do not need to add special sweeper;

(2) Equipment cleaning focuses on equipment maintenance, which should be combined with equipment inspection and maintenance;

(3) The purpose of cleaning is to improve. When abnormal conditions such as oil-water leakage are found in the cleaning process, it is necessary to find out the reasons and take measures to improve them, but they cannot be allowed to happen.

clean

It means that the work results after sorting, rectification and cleaning should be carefully maintained to keep the site in a perfect and best state. Cleanliness is the persistence and deepening of the first three activities. When implementing cleaning activities, we need to adhere to three concepts:

(1), only in a "clean workplace can we produce high-efficiency and high-quality products";

(2), cleaning is a kind of intentional behavior, on the surface, never work hard;

(3) Cleaning is a kind of work anytime and anywhere, not before and after work.

The main principles of cleaning are: adhere to the "three noes" principle-that is, don't put away unused things, don't put them around, and don't get dirty; Not only items need to be cleaned, but also on-site workers need to be cleaned; Workers should be clean not only physically, but also mentally.

accomplish

Efforts should be made to improve the quality of personnel and form a habit and style of strictly observing rules and regulations. Literacy is the core of "7S" activities. Without the improvement of personnel quality, all activities cannot be carried out smoothly, and even if they are carried out, they cannot be adhered to.

rescue

It is the rational use of time, space and energy. , in order to give full play to their maximum efficiency, so as to create an efficient and talented workplace.

Three concepts should be adhered to when implementing: making the best use of everything; Treat the resources of the enterprise with the attitude of being the master; Don't throw it away at will, think about its residual use value before throwing it away.

Economy is the supplement and guidance to complete the work, and enterprises adhere to the principle of thrift.

safe

It is to protect people and property from infringement, and to create an accident-free workplace in zero failure. The key points of implementation are: don't lose big because of small things, but establish and improve various safety management systems; Training operators' operation skills; Don't take small good, don't take small evil, all staff participate, eliminate hidden dangers and pay attention to prevention.

Also known as a factory, it is a large industrial building used to produce goods. Most factories have production lines composed of large machines or equipment. In the modern history of the world, it refers to the large-scale production of capitalist machines, that is, the capitalist industrial sites that replace manual labor with mechanized labor. 18-19th century, after the industrial revolution, machines were widely used in production, which laid a solid material and technical foundation for the capitalist mode of production. Capitalist economy finally defeated feudal economy and small commodity economy with mechanized mass production and established its dominant position. Modern factories are also called "factories" and "production enterprises".
