Case Study: Georg Fischer Central Plastics achieves $300,000+ in savings and stronger employee engagement with Vetter

Continuous Improvement in a Time of Change, Brings Huge Roi

Georg Fischer Central Plastics LLC, a 600-employee manufacturing site in Shawnee, Oklahoma, wanted to improve its continuous improvement and suggestion program. Before working with Vetter, the process was cumbersome to administer, had low employee engagement and participation, and was not generating enough quality ideas.

Vetter implemented an online employee suggestion box system with custom posters, QR codes, kiosks, SharePoint access, and monthly cross-functional review processes to make idea submission and tracking easier. The result was stronger employee participation during a period of uncertainty, a shift toward safety and COVID-19 prevention ideas, and more than $300,000 in logged savings in the first two years, with ROI reached in the first month.
