In response to the high-quality development requirements of the medical device industry, Haiyan Kangyuan Medical Instrument Co., Ltd. fully launched the special action of "5S field management and lean improvement system" on March 28, 2025, and strives to create a modern production management system of "environmental standardization, high efficiency and quality stabilization" to establish a benchmark for management innovation in the industry.

 

In the face of the strict requirements of cleanliness and compliance in the medical device industry and the ever-expanding market demand, Kangyuan Medical has established a two-wheel drive strategy of "5S field management standardization + lean improvement system" by introducing a modern production management system. It is planned to achieve the goal of improving production capacity, reducing product defect rate, improving product delivery time and strengthening product quality stability for tracheal intubation workshop, sputum suction tube workshop, foley catheter workshop, stomach tube throat cover workshop and other workshops in this year.

 

 

This special action was led by Kangyuan Medical management to set up a special leading group, coordinate resource allocation and progress supervision, and set up three implementation units: 5S promotion, lean improvement, and publicity guarantee. Among them, 5S management is divided into 9 responsibility areas according to the production area, and the workshop director responsibility system is implemented. Lean improvement is divided into three key groups: production, technology and quality management, and cross-functional teams are formed by the backbone of each department. The publicity support group is responsible for corporate culture communication and achievement promotion, forming a complete closed loop of "planning-implement-feedback".

 

 

This special action will be implemented in four stages:
