Fudy Group has fully implemented the 5S/6S lean management throughout all its factories

All of Fudy Group’s factories, spanning China, Taiwan, Vietnam, the United States, and Thailand, voluntarily follow the 5S/6S lean management as the basis for their management practices.

*Lean management can also be understood as on-site management of the workplace.

　 What is 5S/6S lean management?

Initially, 5S refers to the five Japanese words which start with S :

1. Seiri (Sort): organize the work area and remove unnecessary tools.
2. Seiton (Set In Order): after sorting out the tools, place them in categories and mark them.
3. Seiso (Shine): keep the work area tidy.
4. Seiketsu (Standardize): implement the above 3S policies and introduce ISO 9001 to improve work efficiency and product quality.
5. Shitsuke (Sustain): continuously develop good work habits. (At this stage, employees have internalized the values of the 4S and no longer just follow the schedule. They are already capable of operating precision and high-end processes. )

Adding Security transforms the 5S‘s into 6s lean management

6. Security: pay attention to the employee’s occupational health and safety, and set up various protection measures to achieve the goal of zero accidents.

　 Why does Fudy Group follow 5S/6S lean management?

A detail-oriented approach and high standards can foster good work ethics among Fudy employees, and good work habits determine work efficiency.

It is challenging to complete all the work without natural huamn errors. Therefore, good manufacturing management practices are crucial; implementing 5S/6S lean management can avoid making mistakes. Although we have high confidence in our colleagues, things could happen. Through monthly internal audits and real-time corrections, we strive to achieve PDCA (Plan, Do, Check, Action) self-management and improvement in daily work.

Power for the possible!
