The beauty of lean lies in the cooperation of all staff. The implementation of lean management needs not only the true executors, but also a lean struggle team with high quality and innovation. As Yang Yang, deputy general manager of Huaxin Fujikura, taught: “to promote lean, we should focus on a long-term effect, that is, whether to achieve the transformation of people’s thinking and behavior mode through lean.” achieving success with lean and educating people with lean “is the goal that the company has always pursued in implementing lean.”
In order to mobilize employees’ participation and enthusiasm to the greatest extent, Wasin Fujikura carried out a series of “integral incentive” theme improvement activities covering seven sub items in five categories: technology R & D, sales, functions, production operation and other general categories in 2021, and received 81 lean projects in total. Through the combination of audio and Kanban, the company has imperceptibly implanted the requirements and concept of “are you lean today” into the work guidelines of each Wasin Fujikura’s staff.

In the centralized monitoring center of Wasin Fujikura digital workshop, technicians click the mouse to see hundreds of mu of production area on the big screen. Relying on the company’s centralized monitoring center, as long as the staff tap the screen, all the data of the operation of five workshops and hundreds of production lines will be pushed to the front in real time and automatically in the form of charts. This intelligent and visual way not only saves time and manpower, but also greatly improves work efficiency and accuracy. What makes all this come true is the innovative achievement of the company in exploring “informatization and lean”.
