Stradus Aqua and Struyck Verwo Aqua are market leaders in the field of sewerage systems and drainage systems respectively. In addition, Stradus Aqua is also a leading specialist in water treatment.
To safeguard the continuity of the entire company, we started a productivity project together with Vocum. Together with Vocum, we structurally changed several things, of which some examples are given below:
- A new organisational structure was set up, with the managers standing closer to the floor, where the money is earned.
- A culture change towards continuous improvement and involving all employees in it was set in motion.
- On a number of machines and workstations, we managed to work with fewer people, which subsequently led to more innovation.
- A new communication structure was implemented, aiming for maximum productivity through problem-solving and cooperation.
- A virtually paperless process was developed and implemented within the internal sales department.
- At various workstations, performance was improved by setting standards more sharply and increasing cooperation across departments.
The structural changes and intensive collaboration with the Vocum team enabled us to amply achieve the target of saving a total of €1,715,149 — a 25% productivity increase — on an annual basis (based on a 20-day average of more than €35,732). This amounts to an ROI of almost 2.5.
We are pleased with the way Vocum put us on the right track.
