CIP documentation with the help of magnets

CIP stands for "Continuous Improvement Process". This stands for a variety of methods to drive improvements in companies and organizations. This process is essential in order to maintain competitiveness and survive on the market. The CIP process is about developing employees and giving them the opportunity to develop their potential and contribute their creativity. Together, solutions are continuously developed in small steps to move the company forward. In addition to improvements in the sense of solving problems, it is also about constantly questioning the status quo in order to continuously develop processes, products or services.

The process of continuous improvement should lead to problems being solved and the current status being optimized. Suitable measures include, for example

• Define and prioritize problem areas
• Describing the actual and target status
• Analyzing the status quo and identifying potential for improvement
• Collecting ideas, brainstorming, workshops
• Clarifying the feasibility of measures, setting priorities
• Determine responsibilities and implement measures
• Comply with the PDCA cycle: Planning (plan), implementation (do), review (check), action (act)

The CIP concept supports evolutionary improvement. Development continues step by step. Standing still means going backwards. The focus should always be on customer satisfaction. On the way there, the aim is always to become more transparent and flexible. When a company moves in this direction, productivity increases and the cost structure is optimized.

The process is only successful if it is truly continuous. It can only work if everyone involved is convinced and works on it every day. Ideally, a cultural change will take place in the company and a culture of improvement will be established. The prerequisite for this is that it is wanted and initiated by the management level and that the employees "can, want and are allowed" - i.e. are empowered and motivated and are given freedom for CIP measures and independent action.

Schallenkammer products are often used in CIP measures. Magnets are ideal for visualization in the CIP process. They ensure transparency in the measures, markings and information can be attached directly on site to boards or even machines using magnetic products.
The continuous improvement process is greatly simplified by magnetic presentation aids. Magnets can be attached and moved or removed quickly.

With the wide range of magnetic products from Schallenkammer, there are no limits to your imagination. The CIP magnetic tape, which can be labeled - for example with an erasable pen - is very popular. This allows you to easily record important information on site. What has been noticed? What is the solution approach? What is the status of this improvement suggestion? Another option for documentation is a magnetic A3 sheet, which can also be wiped off.
Our writable magnetic sheets help you to write down progress, solutions and the current status. Magnetic pockets can be used to store notes and CIP cards directly on site. The numerous classic fastening magnets in different colors and shapes are also helpful.
