York is a leading manufacturer in the household industry, offering more than 600 cleaning products in 75 countries around the world. The company employs more than 500 people in Poland, Russia and Belarus, placing great emphasis on product quality, the environment and employee safety.
York was looking for a way to increase employee involvement in the process of reporting problems and improvements. The goal was to provide employees with a tool to report problems openly and transparently, regardless of their severity or where they arose, and to allow them to have a real impact on the quality of their work.
A Lean Champions Cup® workshop was held to familiarize employees with the types of waste and inspire them to identify and share solutions. During the event, a new tool was presented - the application Sherlock Waste.
Training on how to use the platform was conducted so that each employee could effectively report and monitor problems.
The workshop familiarized employees with the types of waste and inspired them to identify them.
The games introduced employees to the topic of improvement and introduced a new tool - Sherlock Waste.
As a result of the implementation of Sherlock Waste, York has seen impressive results in the first period:
