At 10:00 a.m. on January 10, 2025, Wang Jing, the Chairman of Ban Chao Group, personally led the team, accompanied by Liu Guiping, the General Manager, and Qiu Yu, the Executive Vice President. The general managers of various business divisions and functional centers of the group, as well as representatives from each department, entered the vertical retort test workshop to gain an in-depth understanding of the actual achievements of 5S on-site management.
Since its establishment in 2016, Ban Chao Group has been based on the smelting of metallic magnesium and committed to the diversified development of the magnesium-based industry. After years of development, it has now grown into a national high-tech enterprise and a specialized and sophisticated small and medium-sized enterprise with unique features and edge technologies engaged in the production of metallic magnesium.
5S management refers to Seiri (Sorting), Seiton (Straightening), Seiso (Sweeping), Seiketsu (Standardizing), and Shitsuke (Sustaining). The vertical retort test workshop is one of the core areas of Ban Chao Group's metallic magnesium smelting and has always adhered to 5S on-site management.
When entering the workshop, the first things that catch the eye are:
The achievements of "Sorting": All kinds of necessary items are classified and neatly arranged. Unnecessary sundries have been cleared away, the passageways are unobstructed, and the working space is spacious and orderly.
The "Straightening" link is also very well done. Necessary items such as tools and equipment are neatly arranged according to the specified positions and methods, with clear and distinct markings. Employees don't have to waste time searching for items, which greatly improves work efficiency and better ensures production safety.
The "Sweeping" work is equally meticulous. The floor of the workshop and the surfaces of the equipment are spotless. Problems such as oil leakage and water leakage have been dealt with in a timely manner, and the entire workshop environment is clean and tidy.
"Standardizing" ensures that all operations have rules and regulations to follow. Employees work strictly in accordance with the standard processes, and the product quality is effectively guaranteed.
In terms of "Sustaining", the employees are full of energy, strictly abide by the rules and regulations, and show good professional qualities and the demeanor of the team.
Zhou Yangyang, the person in charge of the technical department of the vertical retort test workshop, gave a detailed explanation to the visiting leaders mainly regarding the operation process and equipment technology, especially in the aspects of the technical improvement and optimization work such as the electric slag-drawing cart, the design of the slag hopper, the heightening of the pipes on the furnace top, the heightening of the operation passageway, the heat preservation of the cloth of the charging hopper, the replacement of the material of the circulating water pipe of the small water jacket, and the large retort rotator.
During the visit, Chairman Wang Jing spoke highly of the 5S on-site management of the vertical retort test workshop. At the same time, he pointed out that 5S management is a continuous improvement process. Enterprises should constantly summarize experience, identify problems, and make timely adjustments and improvements. He also emphasized that 5S on-site management is not just about surface hygiene and tidiness, but also an important means to enhance the competitiveness of the enterprise. A normalized management mechanism should be established. Through regular 5S management evaluations, employee suggestions, and other means, the opinions and suggestions of employees can be collected to continuously improve the 5S management system and enhance the enterprise's management level and production efficiency.
The 5S management of lean production is a simple and effective management tool. It can help enterprises improve work efficiency, reduce costs, enhance product quality, ensure safety, and also have a positive impact on the career development of employees. Enterprises should fully recognize the importance of 5S management, actively implement 5S management, and continuously improve their management level and competitiveness. Let's start from now, start with the small things around us, and jointly create a clean, efficient, and safe working environment to contribute to the development of the enterprise and the career growth of employees.
The general managers of various business divisions and functional centers also expressed their opinions one after another. They believed that they had gained a lot from this visit and would bring back the successful experience of the vertical retort test workshop to their respective departments and apply and promote it in combination with the actual situation. Ban Chao Group will continue to adhere to the concept of innovative development. With advanced management models and technical means, it will promote the development of the magnesium-based industry towards "clustering, refinement, and high-end", and make greater contributions to the high-quality development of China's metallic magnesium smelting industry.
