Five principles of improving management in manufacturing industry

The so-called improvement means that with the management concept of continuous improvement and perfection, all employees participate in the improvement activities in various fields of scientific research, production and management of enterprises, and use common sense methods and low-cost "management techniques".

Ensure that the on-site management level spirals gradually, promote the continuous improvement of enterprise performance indicators, and enhance the market competitiveness of enterprises.

The participation rate and per capita improvement of enterprise employees are important indicators to measure the lean production level of enterprises and reflect the morale of employees.

To implement on-site improvement, manufacturing enterprises and employees should grasp five principles:

0 1

Grasp the principles of changing ideas, gathering methods and acting quickly.

People's comprehensive understanding of things in long-term social life and work practice is the concept. Once the concept composed of values, thinking, psychology and other factors is formed, it is difficult to change.

In real life and work, people generally think that tradition is the best, and destroying tradition is deviant.

This inheritance without critical spirit leads to ruthlessness and ignorance. This old concept has seriously hindered the promotion of enterprises.

Thinking mode determines behavior mode, and then determines performance results. The key to improvement is thinking.

Changing ideas is the premise. From the perspective of improvement, changing ideas means getting rid of empiricism, idolatry, idealism and authoritative thoughts.

Enterprises should advocate breaking away from convention and thinking, emphasize the thought of "Three Existentialism", dare to deny the status quo and "Being is reasonable", use improved tools and feasible methods, take immediate action and resolutely implement it.

02

Grasping poverty will change, change will pass, and the general rules will last for a long time.

There is a famous saying in the Book of Changes: "If you are poor, you will change, and if you change, you will pass, and the general rules will last for a long time." It is said that when things are poor, they must be changed, and only when they are changed can they be reached, and they can last for a long time.

This sentence emphasizes the dynamic charm, development and change of things, attaches importance to the rebirth, renewal and progress of things, and advocates positive changes.

"Change is new", "innovation is new", "keeping pace with the times" and "taking innovation as morality" embody the spirit of enterprising and improvement.

As an enterprise, how to deal with the fierce market competition and be in a favorable position in the competition is fundamental and core.

The promotion of enterprises is only the performance of "changing" this initiative, not bad, but better, pursuing Excellence, which is promotion.

Improvement will make our work more and more simple, performance indicators better and better, employee behavior more and more standardized, corporate culture more and more excellent, and the core competitiveness of enterprises more and more strong!

03

Grasp the principle of correcting mistakes, not seeking perfection but seeking progress.

The core of ascension is action. Therefore, in practical work, there are two situations. First, the status quo is wrong. If found, it must be corrected immediately. It's a waste to delay a second.

Second, in the process of improvement, it is found that the implementation method is wrong, and immediate action should be taken to correct it. Starting over is a big deal.

Improvement focuses on action, and it is impossible to succeed in everything. Failure itself has accumulated lessons, which means that improvement is needed. Every failure case can provide us with opportunities for improvement and the possibility of preventing recurrence.

The essence of improvement is persistence. Don't underestimate trivial improvement activities, start from me, start from small things, and accumulate perfection from bit by bit.

Don't demand perfection in practice, let alone wait until all the conditions are met.

Mr. Taiichi Ono often said: "Don't rush to pursue perfection, but slowly accumulate and improve in practice", "Only stupid people waste their time on preparation, and what is important is how to implement it on the spot as quickly as possible".

Improve. improve. This is the purpose. Improvement is different from innovation. The risk of failure is small, and there is little or no investment. Continuous improvement is the true meaning of improvement.

Therefore, when implementing improvement, enterprises should cultivate an improvement culture, create an improvement atmosphere, encourage employees to actively improve, create conditions for employees to improve, and achieve a win-win situation for enterprise performance improvement and employee growth.

04

Grasp the principles of setting standards, checking problems and tracing the root causes.

"Without standards, there is no improvement". This is the direction of improvement proposed by Mr. Ono Taiyi.

It is hard to imagine that a production site with no unified operation method and different operations can efficiently produce high-quality and low-price products to meet the needs of the market and customers.

In the process of improvement, we should establish standardization consciousness and problem consciousness, follow the principle of "five questions of Toyota standard" and embody Ford's concept of "0- 100".

Improvement is the driving force to improve the standardization level and promote the improvement of enterprise management level; Standardization is the basis of enterprise improvement and the braking force to prevent the decline of enterprise management level.

Without standardization, it is difficult for enterprises to maintain a high level of management, and the final results of all improvement activities must form standards.

Therefore, in the work of improving and forming standards, the most important thing is to determine and explore the real cause of the problem.

Take the method of "thinking horizontally and asking vertically" to trace the source. "Thinking" should have thinking skills, and "asking questions" should have methods of asking questions. To improve the "thinking" of questions, we should start from 5M 1E (man, machine, things, law, environment and measurement), use the exclusion method to "think" and then "ask vertically".

The "question" to improve the problem is to ask a few more "why?" Use 5W, 5WYH, etc. "Ask the casserole in the end" and investigate its root cause until the truth of the problem is found.

05

Grasp the principle of attaching importance to the team and gathering wisdom infinitely.

A hundred steps is not as good as a hundred steps. Improvement is not only the success of a project, but also the cultivation of corporate culture. Improvement is a team activity,

The discovery of improvement points, the mining of improvement methods and the provision and guarantee of improvement resources all require the division of labor and cooperation of the team. When implementing improvement, we should not only praise those who encourage improvement, but also pay attention to improving team building.

An improvement project, an improvement project, always has its limitations and one-sidedness.

The best way to collect improvement methods and schemes is to concentrate the wisdom of the team and implement "brainstorming" activities. Three heads are better than one.

Both the proposal of improvement scheme and the implementation of improvement work need the wisdom and strength of the team. "When people gather firewood, the flames are high" and "single-minded".

The demand of the market and customers is constantly improving, so the improvement work to meet the demand of the market and customers will never stop.

Improvement work is never the best, only better, which embodies the idea of pursuing Excellence and perfection in improvement work. What we need to do is to constantly change our ideas, break the rules, seek better methods, and constantly improve, improve and improve!
