STEEL MILL
| BEFORE |
 |
|
| A steel mill was experiencing very poor performance numbers in terms of quality of output and the volume of waste. While management felt over-worked and over-stressed, the workforce felt they were not listened to and not engaged in finding solutions. |
|
| AFTER |
|
|
| Within six months of implementing a solution developed using input from both management and the frontline workforce, scrap generation decreased by 20 percent, and the mill realized 1.5 million in annualized savings. Workers felt recognized for their contributions and remained motivated to continue improving performance. In the first year following Westwind’s engagement, the mill achieved a further 20 percent reduction, and another 20 percent reduction each year for the next two years. |
