6S management must constantly fight against employee inertia

On January 4, 2021, in the weekly meeting of managers, Mr. Wang Fenghua, the general manager, cited the confusion of 6S site management of Yage Business Division as the topic, and explained that good 6S site management is a good indicator of the enterprise's execution ability. To do well 6S management, we must continue to fight against employees' inertia.

From the site management of Yage Business Division last week, the 6S site management implemented by the company has not only made no progress, but also showed signs of regression. From a single workshop, it seems to be back to before liberation overnight. The production site appears the following undesirable phenomena: dirty machine, messy desk, tools, stool not to return to the position, disorderly material placement, container variety and so on. From the production site, we can't see the shadow of the projects such as "bright window lamp, clean desk and clean wall, workers love machines and container standardization" carried out by the company in order to further deepen 6S site management. Why is that? I think it's still a human problem. It's our lack of specialization and lazy thinking. So, how to change this situation?

First, the leading department should pay attention to planning and guarantee

The 6S site management of Yage Business Division is so chaotic. On the one hand, the execution of the executive layer is out of order. On the other hand, the main personnel in charge of 6S fell asleep and did not take responsibility for the results. As early as in the 2018 strategic meeting, the company listed "focusing on surrounding areas and strengthening production" as the company's strategic projects. The specific meaning of "focusing on surrounding areas and strengthening production departments' planning and support ability is: focusing on the planning and support ability of surrounding departments, and strengthening the execution ability of production departments. For 6S activities are the same, the main staff should also work hard in planning and protection, not only for routine inspection, and do not pay attention to the early planning and results of 6S activities. 6S planning includes organization construction, incentive measures, documentation standards, training publicity, promotion and implementation, and finally, supervision and inspection. In the planning stage, we should make full use of IE's various techniques and follow the four main principles of IE. Such as workshop layout analysis, handling engineering analysis, process analysis and so on. In the training and publicity stage, we should solve the problem that employees do not know. We should let employees know what 6S is, why 6S is carried out, how to carry out 6S, what level should be achieved at each stage of the implementation, etc. To this end, the company will restart the manager's reading party in 2021. The contents of the reading party will start from 6S on-site management, and the two leaders of the leading department of 6S will serve as the teaching teachers. We should let the department heads first understand the purpose, principles, methods and other contents of the implementation of 6S site management, and then let them to train grass-roots management. When the bottom line management understand these contents, then go to train the front line staff. In short, as the leader of 6S site management can’t take the inspection report and the deduction of points processing as the result. And should be responsible for the implementation of the results, and do a good job in the corresponding security work.

Second, 6S management must constantly fight against the inertia of employees.

Scientific and reasonable pre-planning is half the success, the other half we need in daily work to continue to maintain. People always have inertia, including many of the old management cadre is also used to lie in the comfort zone, are used to content with the status quo. If unproductive, even ten years of management and also to do a year of management.6S management also is same, we have to break the status quo of environment and move out after the comfort zone of sofa, it is essentially to fight employees inertia. Employees of inert embodied in the following aspects:

1, despise or unwilling to do. Such employees think that 6S is to go through the health, have no value, and is not the correlation of job to do and not do doesn't matter. Due to the lack of understanding of 6S on-site management, also leads to the lack of motivation. Actually, 6S management is a business executive force an indicator of good or bad, people's thinking is coherent, no discipline in the world can ease the army victories, if even maybe 6S on-site management, talk about what customers continue to provide stable quality products and satisfactory service?

2, deal with to do it. This mindset is not only reflected in the execution staff and performance in monitoring layer. The manifestation of executives to not pay attention to the details of the 6S activity, such as glass, if you don't wipe attentively, not according to the requirements or standards to implement will rub the glass flowers, even more ugly than not to wear; Machine maintenance, for example, if you only pay attention to the machine clean and not pay attention to the inside of the machine on the surface of the daily maintenance and maintenance, also incomplete implementation for 6S activity. For inspection, if meet to do will appear through the motions, walk-on.

3, do not actively. Such employees are mainly in when someone remind or audit to do, and I have psychological shadow on problems existing in the field.

4, don't insist to do.6S management is a need to continue to insist on work, it the same as the enterprise culture, it is difficult to see the obvious effect in the short term, especially in the area of staff quality improvement. Due to 6S results show cycle long, the practitioner or inspectors is lack of passion and power, there will be attention to the boss it slowly to temporary assault, make some guerrilla and mobile warfare, when the end of the "movement", and restore the same. This way not continuous work or attitude, will cause employees "wind" illusion. The above four kinds of situations are common misconceptions about 6S on-site management, is also the manifestation of humanity inert. We must rid of this kind of handle, slack work style. Treatment of 6S management, we should have the determination to persevere spirit and constant attention.

attention to prophase planning leading department and focus on results, and we need to constantly to pay special attention to the daily maintenance work. We want to get the 6S on-site management well as an indicator of enterprise executive force, at the same time be prepared to fight employees inertia constant.
