How IdeasTracker works for you

Manufacturing companies make products, and this involves a series of processes. As employees come and go, methods of completing each stage in the whole manufacturing process get modified slightly, but not necessarily implemented permanently or across the whole organisation (i.e. between different departments, factories, warehouses, etc). Some employees take their ideas with them when they go to other employers, improving your competition's competitive advantage and reducing yours. Some of these new ideas of how to be more productive can save companies hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If you have no formal channel for employees to communicate this to you, how do you know what you're missing out on? In fact, studies have shown that manufacturing businesses can reap some of the largest savings from this kind of system - up to US$12,000 per worker per year (average) has been reported from basic manual suggestion schemes. These ideas may not only involve productivity gains, but also improvements to the workplace environment, making your company safer and reducing the risk of injury.

Studies also show that staff who are allowed to contribute have a higher morale, and you could use your newfound savings and earnings to directly reward and motivate staff.

IdeasTracker will let you gather ideas from the workers "at the coal face" - the ones who really know the processes intimately. Let them share with you their improvements, and reap the benefits.
