A Solution for Better Performance
When we met with Les Fourgons Transit, they were looking for a solution that would enable better communication of information between the various layers of their organization in order to optimize their processes. Their objectives were clear: improve the flow and timeliness of messages sent and increase the involvement and commitment of floor workers in the search for solutions. They chose Gemba-Walk because it was easy for the various users to integrate, and the uptake was quick.
An Economical Gemba Walk!
Fourgons Transit has been growing rapidly for several years and is currently made up of a team of more than 300 employees. It was therefore important that the integration of a digital Gemba-walk tool not add to employees’ workloads, as this could affect their production in the manufacturing of truck bodies.
It was also essential that the new app tie in well to the management system already in place.
