What does the 6S inspection of a vehicle refer to?
1 Answers
6S stands for Sort (SEIRI), Set in order (SEITON), Shine (SEISOU), Standardize (SEIKETSU), Sustain (SHITSUKEI), and Safety (SAFETY). Later, because safety is also a very important item in factory management, and the English pronunciation of safety also starts with S, it was added to the 5S and collectively referred to as 6S. The following is a detailed introduction: 1. "Sort": It is to distinguish between the things that are needed and not needed (excess tools, materials, semi-finished products, finished products, stationery, etc.) in the company (factory). Move the unnecessary things away from the workplace, concentrate and classify them for identification management, so that the workplace only retains the necessary things, making the workplace neat and beautiful, and allowing workers to work in a comfortable environment. 2. "Set in order": It is to quantify, locate, and identify the things that have been sorted out and are needed in the workplace, and store them where they can be easily accessed when needed, so as to reduce the time wasted in searching for items. 3. "Shine": It is to make the workplace free of garbage and dirt, and the equipment free of dust and oil stains, that is, to regularly clean the things that have been sorted and set in order to maintain a state where they can be used at any time. This is the first purpose. The second purpose is to visually inspect, touch, smell, and listen during the cleaning process to discover the root cause of abnormalities and improve them. "Shine" is to clean both the surface and the inside (visible and invisible places). 4. "Standardize": It is to maintain the clean state after sorting, setting in order, and shining, and more importantly, to find the root cause and eliminate it. For example, the source of dirt in the workplace, the oil leakage point that causes oil stains on the equipment, and the looseness of the equipment. 5. "Sustain": It is for all employees to participate in the work of sorting, setting in order, shining, and standardizing, maintaining a neat and clean working environment, and to formulate various relevant standards for everyone to comply with in order to do this work well, so that everyone can develop the habit of complying with the standards. 6. "Safety": It is to eliminate or prevent the sources of safety accidents in the workplace (such as oil stains on the ground, blocked aisles, blocked safety doors, ineffective fire extinguishers, materials and finished products piled too high with the risk of collapse, etc.).
