The Platform
A. Standardization & best practices
Design corporate standards for idea submission forms, project milestones, employee rewards, KPIs to be measured and more.
Deploy the standards easily throughout your organization and make the most of the data at regional and corporate levels. Share best practices and success stories – don’t reinvent the wheel!
B. Reporting & automation
Make sure you have relevant data right when you need it!
- Evaluate plants, business units or regions using the same metrics and common KPIs and make relevant comparisons of their performance (e.g. number of ideas, savings, project status, tasks…).
- Automate the data extraction process to prepare your own reports and data visualizations in power BI (or similar platforms).
- Generate and share standardized project presentations and reports in a few clicks.
C. Scalability
Start small – implement eKaizen in one plant or even just a department. Once you’re happy with the standard, roll it out to other locations easily. eKaizen has ready-made features to help you with that. (And just to be clear – eKaizen is not just for manufacturing teams. Our most successful enterprise customers use it everywhere – from logistics to finance to HR!)
