Project implementation results
In 2017, since the project was put into operation for more than five months, the enterprise management and grass-roots employees have reached a consensus and made efforts to deeply participate in the process of project implementation. Remarkable achievements have been made in 5S improvement, energy conservation and consumption reduction, employee suggestions, cultural integration and caring for employees, and the enterprise production efficiency and product quality have been continuously improved. In November, compared with July, the defect rate of key processes of products decreased by 40%, the manufacturing defect rate of finished products decreased by 22%, the on-time delivery rate increased by 9.5%, and the energy consumption per unit product decreased by 8.5%.
1. Create a clean and safe environment, improve 5S and keep clean
The company decided two pilot areas (motor area and controller area) by vote of EIT members, and focused on 5S management of these two areas. The company has formulated a perfect 5S management system and set up the "5S team mobile red flag". After a series of detailed improvements in the workplace, the spatial layout adjustment of each area, the spatial layout of equipment placement and the identification of items have been significantly improved.
2. Adhering to the concept of green development, energy conservation and consumption reduction have achieved results
The company set up an energy-saving working group. On the basis of finding and solving the eight wastes, the company adopted the suggestions of employees and implemented energy-saving measures such as turning off the lights for one hour during lunch break, turning off the lights when people walk during non working hours, and installing electrical timing shut-off devices to reduce waste and energy consumption.
After calculation, after the implementation of the measures of "people walking and lights off" in non working hours, the office area and production area can save 588 kwh / month.
Energy saving in office area: 64 * 36 * 22 / 1000 = 129.8 kWh
Energy saving in production area: 563 * 37 * 22 / 1000 = 458.2 kWh

According to the project implementation requirements, the company has formulated the employee suggestion system, publicized and rewarded excellent proponents, and fully mobilized the enthusiasm and initiative of employees.
Since the activity of "one person, one suggestion", 126 employee suggestion forms have been issued and 89 suggestions have been withdrawn. Many suggestions have been adopted by the company and incorporated into the EIP for implementation. For example, it is suggested to increase protective measures on the high-rise shelves of the warehouse, increase the number of warehouse personnel, increase the welfare benefits of employees on holidays, improve the air quality in the workshop and increase the operation time of fresh air system.
