FIFO: Key Principle in Engineering & Manufacturing In engineering and manufacturing, efficiency and organization are crucial for maintaining smooth production flows. One of the fundamental logistics and inventory management principles we follow is FIFO – First In, First Out. What is FIFO? FIFO ensures that the oldest materials, components, or products are used first, preventing obsolescence, minimizing waste, and maintaining quality standards. It is widely applied in sheet metal processing and engineering production, especially for: 🔹 Raw material management – Ensuring that older metal sheets, pipes, or other materials are used before new ones to avoid material degradation. 🔹 Tooling & spare parts – Managing wear and tear by using parts systematically. 🔹 Welding & coating processes – Ensuring consistent batch usage to avoid defects in product appearance or function. 🔹 Finished product shipping – Preventing overstocking and ensuring customers receive the right products on time. Why is FIFO Important in Engineering Production? ✅ Reduces Waste & Scrap – Avoids using outdated or degraded materials. ✅ Ensures Product Quality – Maintains consistency by using materials in the right order. ✅ Improves Production Efficiency – Keeps workflows organized and predictable. ✅ Prevents Overstocking & Expired Inventory – Especially crucial for consumables like coatings, lubricants, or adhesives. At our sheet metal manufacturing company, we actively implement FIFO in our warehouse, production, and supply chain to ensure high efficiency, lower costs, and top-quality products for our customers.

5S: The Key to Efficiency and Workplace Organization The 5S methodology is a proven Japanese system for workplace organization that helps increase productivity, safety, and quality in manufacturing. Proper implementation of 5S leads to time savings, reduced errors, and a more efficient work environment. 🔹 What is 5S? The 5S method consists of five steps: 1️⃣ Seiri (Sort) – Remove everything unnecessary from the workplace. Unused tools, materials, and waste only take up space and create clutter. 2️⃣ Seiton (Set in Order) – Every item should have a designated place. Use visual markings and store tools in a way that makes them easily accessible. 3️⃣ Seiso (Shine) – Regular cleaning of the workspace prevents accidents, reduces machine wear, and creates a more pleasant environment. 4️⃣ Seiketsu (Standardize) – Establish rules to maintain the first three steps. Using standardized procedures and checklists ensures consistency. 5️⃣ Shitsuke (Sustain) – Continuously maintain and improve the 5S system. Employee training and regular audits help prevent a return to old habits. ✅ Benefits of Implementing 5S ✔ Improved productivity and efficiency ✔ Reduced risk of accidents and machine failures ✔ Faster and easier work processes ✔ Higher production quality ✔ Better work environment and more satisfied employees Implementing 5S is not a one-time task but a long-term process of continuous improvement. When properly introduced, it becomes a natural part of company culture and delivers tangible results. 📢 Have you used 5S in your company? How has it worked for you?

APQP (Advanced Product Quality Planning) – Advanced Product Quality Planning APQP is a structured process that helps companies plan, develop, and validate new products or significant changes to existing ones. This standard is widely used in the automotive industry and is part of the IATF 16949 requirements. In Eurosvit, we use APQP mostly for new (new revisions of) articles or production. 📌 Goals of APQP: - Ensure that the product meets customer requirements. - Minimize risks and potential failures before production. - Improve process efficiency and product quality. - Enhance communication between suppliers and customers. 🔍 Phases of APQP: - Planning and Program Definition – Understanding customer requirements and setting quality goals. - Product Design and Development – Creating concepts and initial designs. - Process Design and Development – Defining the manufacturing process and control mechanisms. - Product and Process Validation – Testing and verifying quality before mass production. - Launch and Continuous Improvement – Monitoring performance and optimization. In our company, we use this tool primarily for implementing and pricing new products. During this meeting, representatives from all departments – from sales, purchasing, and quality to production – come together. The most important benefit from our perspective is information sharing and preventing issues in mass production. APQP helps companies reduce costs associated with fixing defects and ensures a smooth product development process without complications. 👉 Do you use APQP in your business?
