At our company, we believe that efficiency lies in the details. This month, we officially launched a comprehensive renovation of our Mold Maintenance Department. Our core goal is simple: to align our resources more closely with production needs and maximize operational efficiency.Here is an inside look at how we are transforming our workflow.
、
Previously, our primary pain point was limited space. We housed both Hardware Molds and Plastic Molds in the same repair zone. This created two specific challenges:
Operational Restrictions: Our technicians faced a crowded workspace, which limited their movement and reduced convenience.
Management Clutter: Tools and molds were often intermixed, increasing the time spent searching for materials and slowing down the overall repair speed.
To tackle these issues, we implemented a "Break and Merge" strategy focusing on two key changes:
1. Strategic Relocation: Closer to the Action We have moved the Plastic Mold Repair Zone directly into the Injection Molding Workshop.
Why? This eliminates long transport times and unnecessary handling.
The Benefit: Technicians can now respond instantly to production issues and adjust their workflow based on the real-time rhythm of the injection line,significantly boosting collaboration.
2. Functional Re-zoning: Visual Management We completely redesigned the layout of the original mold room, establishing 6 Distinct Functional Zones to ensure total transparency in the mold workflow:
Equipment Storage
Fitter’s Bench (Workstation)
Pending Repair Area
Incoming Material Area
Pending Maintenance Area
Completed/Repaired Area
This renovation is about more than just moving tables. By restructuring our space and optimizing our process, we have solved the original space constraints and established a powerful link between Maintenance and Production.
This new layout ensures standardized mold management and allows our team to support production demands with greater speed and precision
