Electronic circuit board manufacturing 5s management

5s management is the basis of on-site management. The 5s management originated in Japan and refers to the effective management of production factors such as personnel, machines, materials and methods at the production site. This is a unique management method for Japanese companies. Since Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, and Shitsuke are the first letters of the Japanese alphabet, the first letter of the Roman alphabet is "S", so it is simply referred to as 5s.

Japanese companies have adopted the 5S movement as the basis of management work and promoted various quality management methods. After the Second World War, product quality has been rapidly improved, and it has established itself as an economic power. Under the promotion of Toyota, 5s has played a huge role in shaping the image of the company, reducing costs, on-time delivery, safe production, high standardization, creating a pleasant workplace and improving the site, and has gradually been recognized by the management circles of various countries.

With the development of the world economy, 5S has become a new trend in the management of PCB manufacturers. 5s is widely used in EMS manufacturing, PCB services, etc. to improve the quality of the on-site environment and the way employees think, so that enterprises can effectively move toward to total quality management which is mainly aimed at manufacturing at the production site, and carries out corresponding activities on production factors such as materials, equipment and personnel. According to the needs of further development of enterprises, some enterprises have added safety (Safety) on the basis of 5S, and formed "6S"; some enterprises even promoted "12S", but they never change their minds, all from "5S" , derived from the PCB manufacturers, for example, in the finishing of the requirements to remove useless things or items, in some sense, which is related to savings and security.

FASTPCBA is a model for implementing 5S in PCB manufacturers. The company regularly organizes 5S inspections of offices and workshops every week to ensure a well-organized work and production environment, and better serve customers of automotive electronics, medical electronics, military, aerospace, industrial automation, smart home, IOT etc.
