Zhejiang THEO Industrial Co., Ltd. officially launched its 6S management optimization project. The meeting was held to advance standardized, lean on-site management, enhance production efficiency, improve product quality, and build a modern manufacturing management system.
The meeting focused on key topics including 6S implementation planning, organizational structure establishment, improvement objectives, and company-wide employee mobilization. This marked an important milestone in the company’s journey toward lean management and operational excellence.
1. Strengthening Management Mission and Driving Systematic Upgrade
The meeting emphasized that in an increasingly competitive manufacturing environment, enterprises are facing multiple challenges such as rising costs, stricter quality requirements, increasing delivery pressure, and enhanced environmental and compliance standards.
In response, internal management optimization has become essential for improving core competitiveness. The company highlighted that implementing the 6S on-site management system is a key initiative for achieving standardized and sustainable development.
Through the six dimensions of Seiri, Seiton, Seiso, Seiketsu, Shitsuke, and Safety, the company aims to systematically improve workplace organization, reduce waste, enhance efficiency, and strengthen operational safety.
2. Expert Guidance and Lean Management Introduction
The project is supported by professional consultants from Jiaxing Paili Consulting. Senior management consultant Mr. Wenbing Wang provided on-site guidance during the launch meeting.
With extensive experience in lean manufacturing, 6S implementation, factory layout optimization, production efficiency improvement, and performance management, the consulting team will support the company in building a standardized management system and ensuring effective execution of improvement initiatives.
Their role includes training, on-site coaching, process optimization, and continuous performance tracking to ensure successful project implementation.
3. Establishing a Structured Implementation Organization
To ensure effective execution of the 6S initiative, the company established a dedicated “6S Promotion Committee,” led by the General Manager, along with a promotion office and multiple operational teams across production departments.
A complete management structure has been formed, including:
- Steering committee for strategic direction
- Promotion office for coordination and execution tracking
- Workshop teams responsible for on-site implementation
- Consulting team for technical guidance and evaluation
This structured system ensures a closed-loop process of planning, execution, inspection, and continuous improvement.
4. Strengthening 6S Awareness and Improving Workplace Standards
The meeting systematically explained the core principles of 6S management:
- Seiri (Sort): Remove unnecessary items from the workplace

- Seiso (Shine): Clean the workplace and maintain hygiene
- Seiketsu (Standardize): Establish consistent procedures and standards
- Shitsuke (Sustain): Develop discipline and good habits
- Safety: Eliminate hazards and ensure safe production
By implementing 6S standards, the company aims to significantly improve workplace environment, reduce operational waste, increase productivity, and enhance employee discipline and corporate image.
5. Incentive Mechanism to Encourage Full Employee Participation
To ensure effective execution, the company introduced a performance evaluation and reward system based on team scoring, monthly ranking, and improvement incentives.
Key measures include:
- Monthly rewards for top-performing teams
- Recognition and certificates for outstanding improvements
- Penalties for non-compliance or delayed execution
- Establishment of a dedicated improvement fund for team activities and rewards
This system is designed to shift employee behavior from passive compliance to proactive improvement participation.
6. Full Employee Commitment and Oath Ceremony

The oath emphasized:
