At the award ceremony, Mr. Tran Tien Dung, the Team Leader of the Raw Material Control Division also shared the know-how in their 2 consecutive months of the Best 5S. According to Mr. Dung, his division has many advantages in implementing 5S, such as small sized room, fewer tools, and abundant manpower. However, many disadvantages are also identified, such as large traffic of people going in and out, odor and dust from the raw materials, all of which are tough for the general cleanliness.
"If you came to visit the Raw Material Control Division 2 months ago, you would see the unrational arrangement and layout of the hall. To practice 5S, we worked out a schedule for cleaning assigned to specific individuals. This scheduled roster is posted at the office for convenience. In the first week of implementation, the section chief still had to keep frequent supervision, with reminders. However, by week 2, the people had become accustomed to scheduled practice. To date, more than 2 months after implementation, 5S has been put into place". Mr. Dung said excitedly.
Ms. Nguyen Thi Trang, the Sales Accounting Division also shared: "Formerly, when a new 5S movement was newly launched, much of the practice had been performed forcifully, not derived from self-consciousness. However, after the implementation, every day upon arrival at the company, we see the neatness and cleanliness, we are more motivated to work. 5S practice has become a habit, the obligation of everyone".
