Issues encountered by ADDEV Materials before fabriq was introduced
A few years ago, the ADDEV Materials teams launched an operational excellence approach, with SIM meetings carried out on whiteboards, to monitor their different indicators and optimize communication. But the approach soon showed its limitations: in particular, the post-its used on the whiteboards tended to get lost, and data was constantly being erased, with no way of storing it. Other issues encountered by the ADDEV Materials teams included :
- a lack of data historization and capitalization
- complex communication between teams
- loss of information
- lack of visibility on actions and team progress
Introducing fabriq at ADDEV Materials and scaling it up to 7 sites
The ADDEV Materials staff quickly realized the need to digitalize SIMs to access real-time performance indicators. They chose fabriq, which fully met their expectations as a performance management solution. fabriq was rolled out on a first site in September 2023, and today 7 sites are deployed, including one in Poland and one in Canada. An eighth site is in the process in the United States.
- Deployment of fabriq at a first pilot site, followed by 6 other sites in France, Canada and Poland.
- Centralization, structuring and escalation of information across management levels
- Creation of dashboards for better performance indicator visibility and monitoring
- Tickets and action plans
