and his team are working together with many other people on systematic implementation of the programme. Six Continuous Improvement teams will be formed in the pilot phase. Coordination for the steel mill is being handled by Karl-Heinz Spengler, Ralf Rech is responsible for the forge, and Sebastian Zimmermann is coordinating the administrative sector.” The Continuous Improvement teams report through the coordinators to the Continuous Improvement offi cer, receiving direct technical support through contacts in the Human Resource, Controlling, Quality Assurance, Process Engineering, Technology and IT departments. The Continuous Improvement programme is managed by a control group made up of senior management, divisional management, departmental management, divisional management, The Th Continuous C ti IImprovement t organization i ti structure t t departmental management, the works council, and the Continuous Improvement representatives team. Their task is to monitor the progress of the Continuous Improvement programme, and to ensure favourable conditions for close cooperation by removing barriers. Good ideas are rewarded Ideas contributed are fi rst logged by the Continuous Improvement team concerned according to standardised criteria, then action is formulated, and reviewed by divisional and departmental management. Every measure that is implemented is rewarded. The reward is received by the Continuous Improvement team that contributed and developed the proposal. The amount of the reward relates to the annual net benefi t that the improved measure brings. It is paid to all team members in Continuous Improvement control group/core team The Company equal parts. Implemented ideas that cannot be measured in concrete fi gures are rewarded according to a standardised reward table, and those that cannot meaningfully be implemented in a foreseeable timeframe receive a recognition award. Uniform, clearly structured checklists for recording improvement ideas are available to employees, for example in a Continuous Improvement box at the main entrance, in the workshops, foreman’s offi ces and secretariats, and on the intranet “For us Continuous Improvement is now an integral component of the Buderus Edelstahl corporate strategy”, says Jens Mohr, “for which we set aside time and resources to support and drive forward this continuous process. The more intensively we do this, the stronger Buderus Edelstahl will become.” Continuous Improvement contacts Continuous Improvement representative team Human Resources ⇒ Kison Controlling ⇒ Grünen Quality Planning/ ⇒ Bartzsch, Vetter, Caspari Process Engineering ⇒ Mauritz Engineering ⇒ Veit, Daniel, Philipp IT ⇒ Holland Steel Mill Coordinator Forge coordinator Mohr, Johann, Rech, Hammer, Spengler, Becker, Schmidt, Zimmermann, works council Becker, Schmidt, Zimmermann Administration coordinator Spengler Rech Zimmermann EDELSTAHL Info 1/2008 7
The Company € 15,000 for children’s projects Donations instead of Christmas presents In 2007 Buderus Edelstahl donated € 3,000 to each of fi ve children’s projects, instead of sending Christmas gifts to customers. The cheques were handed over at the end of December in the main administrative block at Buderus Edelstahl. For several years now Buderus Edelstahl has been providing fi nancial support to welfare causes instead of sending Christmas presents to customers. For example a donation went to the children’s heart centre in Giessen in 2005, and to 4 crèches in Wetzlar in 2006. Several projects will all benefi t in 2007. “We are doing this to promote young talent”, emphasised Jens Mohr, Commercial Director of Buderus Edelstahl, at the cheque presentation ceremony. Together with the Technical Director Karl-Peter Johann, he took the opportunity to explain briefl y to the representatives of the children’s projects what Buderus Edelstahl is about – making The new children’s kitchen in the Dandelion day nursery 8 EDELSTAHL Info 1/2008 Susanne Pilz, Heike Grotstollen, Petra Schönfeldt, accompanied by the children Joline Keller (left ) and Sophie Aranega from the “Dandelion” nursery, Karin Knoth, Marion Kunz and Roland Esch (from left to right) appreciate the donation from Buderus Edelstahl. The cheques were presented by Karl-Peter Johann, Anne Kuhlmann (1 st and 2 nd from the left) and Jens Mohr (third from the left) input material for crankshafts and steering knuckles, gear steel for wind power generators, structural steels for bumpers, and turbine and generator shafts for power stations. But Buderus Edelstahl has nothing to do with stainless steel coffee pots. The smallest visitors, two children from the Dandelion day nursery, listened with fascination and amazement. Climbing wall, car, video projector, and more The Dandelion day nursery in the Naunheim district of Wetzlar was delighted with the generous support, as was the Naunheim parents’ association Patchwork, the Niedergirmes Protestant Church Children’s Panel, the Marienheim nursery and the Aßlar crèche groups. The money is needed urgently everywhere to improve childcare. The Dandelion day nursery wanted to convert its roof space and install a children’s kitchen, said the leader Petra Schönfeldt. The vicar Marion Kunz reported dire family circumstances where the children are neglected, do not get a hot meal or any help with their homework when they come home. She intends to use the money to fi nance a new vehicle to support the Children’s Panel and bring food to the needy. New furniture and a video projector will be provided to support the increasing need for help with homework, says Suzanne Pilz of the Patchwork parents’ association. And as Karin Knoth reported, the children at the Marienheim crèche will soon be able to enjoy a new climbing wall. The mayor Roland Esch accepted the donation on behalf of the nursery groups of the town of Aßlar, indicating he would like to invest the money in early musical education for new nursery groups for the under threes. Karl- Peter Johann commented on the Buderus Edelstahl commitment, “Thanks to the re commendation of the Youth Offi ce Manager Heike Grotstollen, we have been able to distribute the donation very appropriately to a range of projects to benefi t the children. We are pleased about that.”
