NEED'
The production and testing work area receives weekly visits from customers, second-party auditors and certification bodies who verify and control the company's quality and compliance with parameters relating to the Quality, Environment and Safety area for different purposes (HS&E).
The company policies as well as the vision of the group activity must be communicated to the workers to increase their awareness of the quality of work and the safety of the environments in which they operate.
These communications were made via paper documents posted on special bulletin boards located within the company or distributed.
Due to the nature of the same, the data communicated related to previous events and never just in time, this causes a reduced ability to react in time to correct any misalignments with the production KPIs.
Employees always had a retrospective view of events, which effectively prevented an improvement in the KPIs themselves.
