Electric energy meters are precision electronic products and metering products. They have relatively high requirements on the environment of the manufacturing workshop. They need constant temperature and humidity, dust and anti-static, so electric energy meter manufacturers have introduced 5S production site management system for a long time. As a well-established electric meter company, Yongtailong needs to pass the on-site manufacturing capability review of product certification in different countries and regions, and also accept on-site factory inspections from many customers. 5S is the most basic requirement.

5S is the name of a workplace organization method that uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri, seiton, seiso, seiketsu, and shitsuke. Transliterated into Roman script, they all start with the letter "S". The list describes how to organize a work space for efficiency and effectiveness by identifying and storing the items used, maintaining the area and items, and sustaining the new order. The decision-making process usually comes from a dialogue about standardization, which builds understanding among employees of how they should do the work. Energy meter manufacturers carry out effective and pragmatic development according to the key points of 5S and the actual manufacturing characteristics of their own products.

1. Seiri

For the cleaning of the workshop production site, separate the things that are needed and those that are not needed, keep only the useful things and remove the unnecessary things. The production of Yongtailong electric energy meters is based on its own characteristics, and the materials are issued according to the order quantity. When the order is produced, there are only parts and tooling tools required for the product on the workstations, and the order production is completed and placed in place.

2. Seiton

Quantify, locate and configure the people, things and things needed. After passing through the sorting stage, scientifically and rationally place the items that need to be left on the production site, so as to get the required items as quickly as possible. For the materials required for the production of electric energy meters, they are placed in advance according to the order and stored in the stock, and the tooling tools are uniformly classified and placed on the tool racks and marked (one-to-one labeling of the placement position and tooling tools) can be taken or returned at a glance. bit. For the product materials and tooling tools on the workstation, they are placed quantitatively according to the needs and are easily accessible.

3. Seiso

Define the scope, assign work, and systematically clean up workstations, workplaces, tooling equipment, etc., to detect potential problems in time and avoid deterioration of the situation. Implement improvement measures, constantly find ways to speed up the cleaning process, focus on hard-to-clean places, and establish tidy rules.

4. Seiketsu

Standardize and maintain the results of the above sorting, rectification, and cleaning to make the workers feel tidy and hygienic. A well-defined and well-defined system needs to be established to maintain and implement the results of the previous three stages in the long run. Compilation of relevant rules and regulations, formulating and implementing year plans, clear division of labor, clear responsibilities, rights, rewards and punishments, participation of all employees to improve visibility, etc., and informing all employees becomes the basis for the operation requirements of all employees.

5. Shitsuke

Efforts to improve the quality of personnel and develop the habit of strictly abiding by rules and regulations are the purpose of 5S. Only when the quality of all personnel is improved, various activities can be carried out smoothly, and the company's rules and regulations and behavior requirements are fully penetrated and implemented.

YTL as a Supplier of electricity meter, focuses on strictly implementing 5S activities in the production and manufacturing of Electronic kWh meters, which has significantly improved product quality and work efficiency. The working environment is clean and bright, and the materials, tooling and equipment are placed in an orderly manner; the working environment of the workshop has been greatly improved, and the picking of items has reduced a lot of time wasted on distance and searching; the real-time maintenance of tooling and equipment is guaranteed during use. The integrity of the tooling equipment. The concept of 5S has really been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it has been integrated into all aspects of the production and manufacturing of electric energy meters, forming standardized guidelines and requirements, and effectively carrying out corresponding production activities. It laid the foundation for the on-time delivery of electric meters with guaranteed quality and quantity, and promoted Yongtailong to effectively move towards total quality management.
