NWR saves millions thanks to Continuous Improvement initiative
The programme provides OKD employees with the opportunity to volunteer their ideas for increasing safety at work, improving working conditions and delivering operational savings. A reward of almost EUR 40 is paid out to any worker who submits a proposal that is accepted, while additional sums are provided following the realisation of improvements in relation to achieved results. A team involved in the implementation of a concrete measure is also evaluated for a financial reward.
The submitter of an accepted proposal is made a member of the team in charge of implementing his idea in practice. He or she participates in the realisation of the idea and follows the resulting gains.
"In my opinion, the biggest motivation for many workers is a particular opportunity to participate in initiatives that bring benefits and a simplification of work at their workplaces. We have not only brought about significant savings with this programme, but we have also managed to achieve what to us is the main reward and priority, better safety at our mining workplaces," said Leo Bayer, OKD Director of Operations, summarising the initial results of the project.
Encouraged by the demonstrable successes achieved last year, the Continuous Improvement programme is continuing this year.
