Release Date:
20-08-03
On the afternoon of July 2, 2020, ASIMCO Camshaft (Yizheng) Co., Ltd. launched its semi-annual “Red Tag Operation” campaign. Under the leadership of the General Manager and the respective Deputy General Managers in charge, all departmental staff across the company were divided into zones to participate in on-site identification activities at the production front line. At the scene, they made immediate decisions and implemented quantitative planning and 5S initiatives, ensuring that every employee had a designated area of responsibility. The “Red Tag Operation” is the foundation of 5S management. During 5S activities, red tags are affixed to items that are unnecessary or slated for removal from the production area. This operation involves using red tags to identify “problem areas” in each zone, enabling any employee to quickly spot issues and take corrective actions, thereby achieving rapid and effective improvements. This “Red Tag Operation” campaign pooled the collective wisdom of employees. Through on-site inspections, sorting, and tidying, a total of 188 problem areas requiring rectification were identified and tagged, effectively saving space, reducing waste, and making operations more accessible, organized, and manageable. Moreover, the on-site inspection revealed that a grinding machine on the VIKING line could be repurposed for a new production line planned for this year, which not only saved investment funds but also put idle equipment to good use, thereby reducing production and operational costs to some extent. By organizing the “Red Tag Operation,” the aim is to truly benefit both employees and the company, embed 5S management deeply in the hearts of every employee, continuously identify and solve problems, and integrate ongoing 5S improvements into a positive PDCA cycle, ensuring that improvement is an endless process.
On the afternoon of July 2, 2020, ASIMCO Camshaft (Yizheng) Co., Ltd. launched its semi-annual “Red Tag Operation” campaign. Under the leadership of the General Manager and deputy general managers in charge of different departments, all departmental staff across the company participated in on-site identification activities at production lines by designated areas, making immediate decisions and implementing quantitative planning and 5S management on the spot, ensuring that everyone has a designated area and assumes corresponding responsibilities.
“Red Tag Campaign” is the foundation of 5S management activities. During 5S implementation, items that are unnecessary and slated for removal from the production area are tagged with red labels. The Red Tag Campaign involves using red tags to identify “problem areas” across various zones, enabling any employee to quickly spot issues and take corrective action, thereby achieving rapid and effective improvements.
This “Red Tag Campaign” leveraged the collective wisdom of our employees. Through on-site inspections, sorting, and tidying, a total of 188 improvement items were identified and tagged for corrective action, effectively saving space, reducing waste, and achieving easier access, storage, and management. In addition, the on-site inspection revealed that a grinding machine on the original VIKING line could be repurposed for this year’s new production line, thereby reducing capital expenditure, putting idle equipment to productive use, and lowering production and operational costs to a certain extent.
By organizing “Red-Tag Campaigns,” the goal is to deliver tangible benefits to both employees and the organization, embed 5S management deeply in the mindset of every employee, continuously identify and resolve issues, and integrate ongoing 5S improvement into a virtuous PDCA cycle, ensuring that improvement is an endless journey.
