VCST celebrates Continuous Improvement Awards!

In VCST, we like to continuously improve our way of working. To achieve this, we involve the whole team to proactively think about how we can improve processes, work flows, be more cost efficient, etc.

To thank our employees for this, VCST Alba continuously commends and rewards colleagues each quarter for their extra effort in addition to their regular work tasks. This involvement extends beyond job performance, as they also seek to improve processes through Continuous Improvement and Kaizen problem solving initiatives.

What is Kaizen?

Kaizen problem solving is a Japanese management philosophy that focuses on continuous improvement of processes, products, and services. Kaizen emphasizes small changes over time that can lead to significant improvements in efficiency and quality. It encourages employees to identify opportunities for improvement and take action to improve their work environment. Kaizen initiatives are often used in conjunction with other problem-solving techniques such as brainstorming, root cause analysis, and process mapping.

Our team carries our brand

We achieve excellence at VCST because of our capable and motivated team. Because of them, we didn’t only achieve the established year-to-date target, but exceeded it as of the start of December!

Furthermore, we outlined 12 projects throughout the year. These projects had the intention of optimizing processes via Kaizen problem solving methodology. Thereby, the work of our operators becomes less complicated. We are proud to say that we finalized all 12 projects successfully!

Achievements require rewarding

We are aware of the added value all the initiatives of our team players bring. That is why we want to thank them. That gratitude is expressed in the form of the Continuous Improvement awards. These festivities were held at the end of last year in the VCST Alba plant. Furthermore, colleagues who had implemented ideas with the highest savings and submitted the most ideas were awarded during the year-end celebration.

Our colleagues were awarded in the following categories: continuous improvement, kaizen problem solving initiatives, highest savings and most ideas.

And the winners are…
