The problems Bel encountered before digitalization with fabriq
Before fabriq, Bel’s teams ran their processes by combining paper management with physical and digital whiteboards. This posed numerous challenges that had a direct impact on their performance, such as:
- Difficulties in retrieving information (malfunctions, improvement opportunities, deviations)
- Lack of clarity and challenges in assigning tasks and actions
- Difficulties in escalating action plans
- Time lost in preparing daily performance meetings (SIMs)
Deploying fabriq at Bel
Bel launched a transformation initiative called “Learning Teams” at its Lons site. This project is based on the belief that every employee should be able to actively contribute to the performance of their area. To support this initiative, Bel needed reliable tools to facilitate the transformation. They integrated fabriq into this framework to standardize operational excellence practices across all of their factories.
- Deployment of fabriq in 13 production sites
- Digitalization of daily rituals across 5 organizational levels
- Centralization, structuring and escalation of information across all 5 levels
- Creation of dashboards for better visibility and monitoring of performance indicators
- Establishment of standards for operational excellence routines
Bel teams’ adoption of the tool and the benefits provided
Following the implementation of fabriq, Bel’s teams observed significant benefits in their operational excellence routines, particularly their performance management meetings, as well as scaling standardized practices.
- Significant time savings in preparing performance management meetings with data automation
- Improved meeting quality, enabling more time to focus on value-added actions
- Greater responsiveness and better follow-up on tasks and actions, boosting team empowerment
- A surge of continuous improvement initiatives
- A more consistent application of excellence standards across all factories

“The arrival of a digital tool has revitalized our organization and ultimately, we will be able to reinvest all this time we have saved in what adds value for us, that is to say, monitoring action plans and taking action.”
