SEAT saves 12.6 million euros thanks to the Ideas for Improvement programme
The Ideas for Improvement programme promoted by #seat, which has been encouraging employee participation in achieving savings and process improvements for more than a decade, last year resulted in a savings for the company of 12.6 million euros. The company obtained this figure thanks to the proposals made by the employees, who came up with 11,200 ideas for improvement.
SEAT employees put forward their suggestions for optimising processes, and in so doing, contributed their vision for making the company more efficient. Nearly half of the proposals deserved a prize for their originality, implementation capacity or benefit to the company. In total, #seat gave 2,123,000 euros in prize money to its workers for their contributions made in ten categories: Product, Facilities, Ergonomics, Energy Savings, Easy Ideas, Process Improvement, Quality, Environment and Innovation.
Highlights among the most original ideas are those initiatives that lead to energy savings and efficiency of the facilities. For example, in applying the adhesives used to seal the windows on vehicles. The idea put forward by an assembly line worker successfully proved that the adhesive applied is suitable for two different geometries that can be used on both the latest version of the #seat Ibiza as well as the previous one. This suggestion prevented having to make an additional investment in the facility during the time both versions are still being made on the assembly line.
