Six types of waste that Gluu helps you remove

Handling paper forms

Printing, distributing and collecting paper forms takes time. Gluu’s form builder eliminates this waste.

Issues not being collected in a systematic way

Gluu closes the feedback loop from frontline to backoffice and places input in the right place. This eases root cause analysis.

Slow problem reporting

Reporting issues from frontline to backoffice takes time. Gluu makes it real time for faster corrective action.

Communicating changes

Gluu eliminates 90% of the time spent communicating changes to the right people (compared with email and Visio.)

Written SOPs lead to more errors

Instructions by video or image at the right time ensure better understanding. This reduces the error rate.

Answering the same question many times

Process editors answer questions in Gluu which automatically notify people with the right role. All is searchable.

Gluu is very easy to use. Managers in all functions are mapping processes with their teams. People are excited about this collaborative approach."

Marianne Mølgaard Process & Optimization Specialist, Bisnode

The Gluu platform enables us to find new ways to eliminate waste, as our processes from order to delivery production become easier to understand. Also, we get time savings by no longer having to handle paper registrations. Everything is now done in the app.” See case study

Jacob Lund Plant Manager, RPC Superfos

If a mistake is made during the night, the Quality Assurance specialist needs to know about the it immediately when he or she shows up for work in the morning. Here, the traditional procedures are simply too slow. With Gluu it happens in real time, so the error is visible to everyone immediately. That way our employees, e.g. cleaning staff in the factory, only need to deal with the task and form visible on their smartphone, and they may even have a concrete video guide at hand. This decreases the risk of errors.” Read case
