Turning small ideas into big results within electronics manufacturing

Often the simplest ideas are the best. Extracting these from employees, however, can be a complex process. Perhaps it is because they don’t believe that their ideas are any good. Maybe they feel they have previously fallen on deaf ears. Or could it be that their ideas won’t double profit margins overnight, so are probably not worth mentioning? Sadly all of these thoughts (plus many more, I’m sure) exist in the minds of electronics manufacturing staff up and down the country. This is a crying shame. Tapping into these and creating a culture where great ideas and process improvements flow freely can really help boost staff morale. They can also deliver cost-effective results to both original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and contract electronics manufacturers (CEMs) alike. So what are you waiting for? Go and put that suggestion box in the canteen, sit back and let the good ideas roll in. Oh. You’ve already tried that and, apart from a couple of chocolate bar wrappers, the box remained empty. Perhaps you need to approach things a little differently this time.
