The Challenge
Hyundai’s “My Brilliant Idea” portal was previously completely manually, and the process of registering and approving ideas typically took days to complete. Suggestions were captured in multiple spreadsheets, and follow-ups were carried out manually via email.
“The process depended on the manual collection of signatures, making it impossible to automatically manage deadlines and responsibilities, causing loss of information”, said Fernanda Zucoloto, Quality Supervisor at Hyundai.
The Solution
Hyundai decided to adopt SoftExpert’s Excellence Suite software as a means of providing a portal for its employee suggestion program. Now the process can be done in a few minutes. Suggestions are now centralised via a customisable portal with automatic reminders, allowing employees to register, follow up on their suggestions in real time, and redeem their points.
“This greatly facilitated the execution of the workflow and the effective management of information, providing more focussed and objective action planning”, said Zucoloto.
The Results
In six months the portal has already had 1,485 ideas registered, with 866 in progress and 231 implemented. Requests made before automation were included in the platform to facilitate follow-up, totalling 4,000 records.
“We’ve had very positive feedback from employees, as the system facilitated the follow-up of everyone involved in the process, providing more control and autonomy in the management of the ideas generated”, stated Libele Silva, Hyundai’s Quality Assurance Analyst responsible for the project.
