ORGANIZATIONAL INNOVATION: 5S AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Alongside completely new products and services, continuous improvement of the existing ones is of great importance.
This is the reference to incremental innovation, that innovation resulting from many small advances related to existing processes and products that improve all aspects of business efficiency, increase safety levels and reduce the consumption of natural resources and environmental impacts.

It is an innovation based on people, their skills and motivations.
For this reason Gruppo Mastrotto has embarked on a gradual multi-year programme for the introduction and the development within itself of methodologies that facilitate and stimulate these advances: 5S, methodologies for continuous improvement and lean production / management. The project is slightly behind schedule as the design phase took longer than originally budgeted.
