The Ideas-to-Improve (i2i) program was initiated by the MCS Process Improvement Team of the Compliance Support Center in August 2020.

The program was conceptualized in alignment with the Investors in People (IIP) accreditation indicator on delivering continuous improvement, which enables an organization to foster “a culture that encourages innovation.”

The i2i Program aims to provide more opportunities to improve and further embed continuous improvement in BAVI’s culture. Every employee will be encouraged to submit ideas for improvement and these ideas will be acknowledged, considered for implementation, and recognized.

The program’s ultimate goal is to generate more involvement from the workforce in increasing the rate of the organization’s improvement through “kaizen” efforts—small, incremental changes that can improve productivity, reduce waste, and eliminate unnecessary hard work.

Benchmarking and 5S will serve as the foundation of the Kaizen program.

The i2i Program introduces the concepts of Benchmarking and 5S (Good Housekeeping) to enhance discipline and visual management of participating team departments through the leadership of Kaizen Champions.

Kaizen Champions are selected employees from different areas or department of BAVI. Proving they are passionate in volunteering and executing their ideas, they were recommended by their respective department heads to be part of the BAVI’s kaizen circle.

The Kaizen Champions team will lead and assist the whole organization in implementing the three guiding principles and further facilitate continuous improvement efforts in the organization. A rewards and recognition system is also conceptualized to recognize the leadership of Kaizen Champions team and employees who will participate in the program activities.
