Ōnin Team Members – Assembly Shop

Do You Know the Meaning of 5S?

To refresh your memory, here’s a quick review of the 5S process.

Sort – sorting through the contents of an area and removing unnecessary items
Set – arranging necessary items to provide easy and efficient access and keeping them that way
Shine – cleaning everything, keeping it clean, and using cleaning as a way to ensure that your area and equipment is maintained as it should be
Standardization – creating guidelines for keeping the area organized, orderly, and clean and making the standards visual and obvious
Sustain – education and communication to ensure that everyone stays disciplined to the 5S standards

Thank you all for remaining safe! So far this year we have 0 recordable injuries. This is a true example of applying the 5S!

Attendance Bonus!

Kiosk

We now have a kiosk set up in Assembly by the TRR’s desk. Please feel free to utilize it to print check stubs, access your W2’s, and even check out this month’s newsletter.

Thank you everyone for keeping the kiosk clean thus far. Next to the kiosk are sanitized wipes; after using it, please take the time to wipe off the keyboard and mouse to leave a clean area for whoever may need to use it after you.

Success Story

When I started off with Ōnin I had a rough start in finding my place. I had to be moved multiple times for different reasons just to find where I would fit the best. It was a blessing in disguise. Being able to learn multiple stations and being hands on with different tools turned out to be valuable. Thanks to Derek for sticking with me, keeping me focused, and not getting frustrated with the temporary bumps on the road to success. Now that I’ve made the conversion, I can look back and say it was all worth it!
