At the factory in Nørre Aaby, there has been a strong focus on implementing LEAN to optimize and increase productivity, improve the working environment, increase employee involvement, but also reduce waste, including energy consumption. This overarching goal has resulted in a cultural shift from employees doing what they've always done to a more analytical and employee-involving culture. It has become common to rethink everything based on the mantra "work smarter, not harder".
It has been important for the factory management that the employees feel heard and involved in LEAN projects. The argument for this is that it is the production employees who have the "spoon in the dressing" every day. They are the ones who come up with the good ideas for working smarter and more efficiently every day. It is therefore prioritized every week that employees are given the opportunity to share their ideas. All ideas are taken seriously and evaluated for possible efficiency improvements. Both management and production employees have been trained to question workflows and processes, for example with the "5 x why" method.
An example of using the "5 x why" method was when the factory became aware that it was challenging to label the tall glass bottles. "Why is it challenging?", and after the fourth "why" was asked, it was revealed that the bottles were wet because they were cooled with water after bottling. However, when the fifth 'why' was asked, which was why the bottles were chilled, no one knew why. This insight made it easier to label the bottles and resulted in energy optimization as they no longer needed to be refrigerated. This is just one example of many good initiatives.
To get more good ideas from production employees on the table, it has been prioritized that employees receive training in the eight LEAN waste types, such as waiting time. This way, employees can develop their ability to identify waste and efficiency opportunities in the warehouse, maintenance, production and administration.
