Quest. 1: Do you know the material value of your annual losses arising from set-up processes? help

This question concerns the following

Quest. 2: Does your company systematically reduce the planned scrap in production? help

This question concerns the following

This may be material accruing for technical reasons due to changes in form (for example chips or chad) or in production for the adjustment to a process (for example adjusting parts, setting-up losses, start-up scrap). Furthermore, planned scrap means materials or components which, as experience has shown, accrue as a percentaged loss in individual process steps.

Quest. 4: Do you also dispose of 20 % of the purchased material value per year? help

Quest. 6: How do your employees cope with changes? help

This question concerns the following

Continuous improvement processes require constant change and thus the employees' high readiness to change. Essential prerequisites for this are transparent information structures, the playful approach to innovations and the emphasis on the entrepreneurial overall goal instead of the emphasis on fixed and established departmental boundaries.

Changes are implemented on instruction
Changes create resistance and are only implemented under pressure
Changes are generally rejected

Quest. 7: Does the individual employee dedicate his/her full potential to the company? help

This question concerns the following
