On December 27, the summary meeting of the "Six Sigma Capability Improvement Project" of Far East Copper Foil Taixing Base was successfully held. Fu Wenfeng, senior partner of Far East Intelligent Energy Co., LTD. (Stock abbreviation: Far East Stock code: 600869), Managing Director of Sunda Electric, General manager of Far East Copper Foil (Yibin), senior partner, ZhengSijun, Chief safety environment production service officer of Sunda Electric, and Cheng Chao, Chief Quality Officer attended the meeting and presented awards to the winning team.
The Six Sigma project review process by the project leaders respectively on the "pinhole improvement project", "Yellow Print improvement project" and "end oxidation improvement special project" development and results made a detailed report.
Under the guidance of teachers from Chongqing Zhihe Foundation Technology Co., Ltd. and the joint efforts of each project team, each project achieved satisfactory results: the proportion of pinhole failures decreased by 90.1%, and the annual saving was 12.73 million yuan; The oxidation ratio of the end surface is reduced by more than 80%, and the annual saving is 80,000 yuan; The failure rate of Huangyin decreased by 92.5%, and the annual saving was 1.14 million yuan; The average reduction rate of the three projects is more than 85%, and the cumulative annual savings are more than 13 million yuan. At the same time, it has formed a management mode based on data and facts, established a Six Sigma culture of continuous improvement and innovation, and provided the necessary management tools and operating methods for enterprises to continuously and breakthrough improvement and innovation.
In order to better promote the steady development of Six Sigma project, Far East Copper Foil hired Six Sigma Black belt master Jiao Qiuliang to guide the project in-depth, to solve the quality problems encountered by the team members in the actual work, in order to promote the improvement of product quality and management level. At the conference, he shared the experience of Six Sigma project activities of excellent enterprises, affirmed the achievements of Six Sigma management activities of Far East copper foil, and encouraged everyone to actively participate in the publication of national Six Sigma excellent results, and proposed that the selection of topics meet the transformation goals of enterprises and the requirements of diversification of improvement methods. At the same time, the existing shortcomings are also pointed out. The follow-up project team should strengthen the depth and breadth of activities and improve the positive initiative of team members.
It is reported that at the same time that lithium-ion batteries are developing towards smaller, lighter and higher energy density, the development of the copper foil industry has put forward higher requirements for enterprises in terms of R & D quality, production capacity, business processes, and talent growth. In this regard, Far East copper Foil has formulated a two-and-a-half year optimization strategy, and since its launch in May 2023, it has tackled key and difficult issues in the second half of 2023, making breakthroughs in terms of basic tool capabilities, core quality issues, and copper foil stability, process design parameters, and equipment comprehensive efficiency. In the next two years, the company will further integrate system resources, establish a quality reliability information system, lay the foundation for the future digital operation of enterprises and products, and ensure that from the overall perspective, system integration, focus, and achieve comprehensive cost and quality optimization.
By actively participating in the transformation of Six Sigma implementation ideas, using Six Sigma management methods to achieve enterprise reform, innovation and accelerated development, accelerating the company-wide promotion of Six Sigma projects at the same time, but also to take Six Sigma as an important weapon in our management reform, through the introduction of advanced concepts and the application of tools and methods, the establishment of flexible and effective continuous improvement system. Achieve the improvement of the quality and cost ability of the whole process, and form a unique Far East quality culture.
Zhou Wei, Senior director of the General Manager Office of Far East Copper Foil, Zhong Jiaxing, head of the Research and Development Department of Sunda Electrical Technology, Zhu Chunping, head of the Quality Service Department, Pei Yongping, deputy director of the Equipment Service Department, and all members of the Six Sigma team participated.
Extending Reading:Six Sigma
Sigma, which stands for standard deviation in statistics, is used to describe how far an individual in a population deviates from the mean. Six sigma is a standard deviation of 6 times, which actually represents 99.9997% of all possibilities within the range of +/-6sigma, and the chance of exceeding this range is only about 3 million, which means that the DPPM (defect parts per million) is only 3.4%. With the introduction of the 6sigma concept, different companies, plants, processes and services can be quantitatively compared.
Six Sigma method is a kind of management method that attaches great importance to data and makes decisions based on data. By implementing fault-free process design (DFSS) and improving the existing process through DMAIC process, it adopts business improvement process systematically and integrally, which can not only be used to evaluate and measure product quality, but also can make some work quality and process quality that are difficult to measure and evaluate measurable as product quality. Thus, it helps to explore improvement opportunities, achieve the purpose of eliminating and reducing work errors and product defects, and continuously improve enterprise business processes to enhance customer satisfaction.
