    Uploaded by

    The document describes a Kaizen (continuous improvement) program implemented at a company with 1,500 employees. It is estimated that implementing the suggestions from employees could save the company €900,000 per year. The savings would be distributed as follows: 20% to employees for realized suggestions, 25% to an unrealized suggestions department, 5% as profit for the company, 13% to employees for realized suggestions improving customer satisfaction, and 37% distributed to employees. A questionnaire was also administered to evaluate employees' attitudes towards the suggestion program and determine how to maximize participation. A 3-step program was then outlined to systematically implement the suggestion collection, review, and rewards process.
