Sherlock Waste is a fast, simple and intuitive tool for reporting problems and ideas for fixing them. I was also persuaded to decide to use it by its transparent form: everyone can see the submissions and anyone can add an idea with a solution. Sherlock Waste is worth recommending to any company that does not yet have any improvement system and one that wants to re-engage employees in this initiative
