The Triple Bottom Line Approach – Productivity Component Kai Bethke 12 June 2007
TBL - Approach • Productivity – organization and visual management of the workplace • Environment - more rational use of resources andreduction of waste and emissions at the source • Social domain – enhancement of labor standards, working conditions, health and safety, freedom of association, employees’ involvement in decision-making
Approach for Competitiveness What is Competitiveness and why? It is selling of products, which meet customer requirements at a least price.
Why Companies are in a situation, where: • The workplace is poorly organized, cluttered and dirty • There is spillage all over • High equipment breakdowns • Movement of people on the shop floor is very high • Material transportation is of very high level • Rejection and rework is more • High customer complaints and returns of material • Delivery Schedules are not met with all the time. • Lower Output • Higher energy and power costs • Higher material costs • Absenteeism of Employees is high • Unsafe working conditions • Employee Involvement is low
What are 5S? • Seiri – Sort out • Seiton – Set in order • Seiso – Cleanliness/Shine • Seiketsu – Standardize • Shitsuke – Sustain
5S Tools and Techniques • Red Tagging • Identify the items which are not required; • remove them with appropriate action
5S Tools and Techniques • Before/After Photographs • Taking photographs of the areas which need improvement, helps identify the details for action • Gives a view to all regarding what is abnormal from the point of view of orderliness in the area • Together it can be seen by the group and improved
5S Tools and Techniques • Visual Display • It is an idea of putting sign boards and details related to the machine / process, action taking place at that place; so that it is self explanatory
Involvement of Employees Implementation of 5S needs involvement of ALL employees!
Benefits of 5S • More efficient use of resources (technology/equipment, people and time) • Facilitated access to tools, supplies, equipment and information • Companies report 5S efforts have: • Reduced needed shop floor space by 60% • Reduced in-process times by 25% • Increased inventory turns by 67% • Reduced inventory by 35%.
