To popularize lean production concepts, strengthen teamwork and give full play to collaborative advantages within teams, the company has launched lean production management training and project implementation initiatives since late 2022. After six months of phased training and learning in the first phase, all workshops have gained in-depth understanding of lean production and are able to conduct in-house project research and promotion based on what they have learned.

To further foster a sound atmosphere for lean learning and practical implementation, and consolidate lean knowledge and management capabilities, Amphenol JET held a Lean Production Management Knowledge Competition and Project Sharing Event at its Haiyan Plant on July 1, 2023. The activity involved seven teams, with dedicated areas for hosts, judges and observers. The event consisted of two major sessions: theoretical knowledge quizzes and on-site project sharing. The quiz included compulsory and buzzer-answer questions.

During the project sharing session, all teams presented well-structured project topics with reasonable improvement strategies and clear target positioning, as well as proficient application of lean tools. They fully adopted the 7+1 types of manufacturing waste and eight BPS principles, and effectively applied on-site management of SMC production lines and QCO quick changeover techniques to practical manufacturing operations.

The event featured a vibrant and immersive learning atmosphere. All participants exchanged ideas actively, learned from each other’s strengths and complemented mutual shortcomings. Outstanding teams were recognized at the ceremony, with professional lean management books and bonuses awarded on-site.
