challenges:

According to the CTA Report, companies have improved some internal aspects in their processes: among those who carried out Module 1, the greater organization in the jobs, the reduction in operating times, the greater use of previously misused areas, and the implementation of indicators to have more control of the processes. While among those who implemented Module 5, greater safety in the work areas, decrease in workplace accidents, establishment of a Joint Health and Safety Committee

success:

n/a

context:

With the Project, the SCORE methodology has been implemented in 28 companies: 20 received Module 1 (Cooperation in the workplace) and 8 received Module 5 (Safety and health at work. The implementation was in charge of 15 business advisers from INFOTEP, who were trained by the Antioquia Science and Technology Center (CTA) and received methodological assistance from said Center during their work in the companies. These have been one of the few advances of the Project in terms of meeting the goals of product indicators.

description:

2. The main lessons learned from the SCORE implementation pilot program are: (a) the commitment and involvement of Senior Management of the companies that implement SCORE is essential because it is the one that has the resources to achieve the desired results, (b) the importance of generating a culture of standardization and continuous improvement in employees, and (c) the importance of involving all areas of the company in the preparation and implementation of improvement plans.

administrative_issues:

This lesson learned is linked to the process of implementing the SCORE methodology in companies, which in turn requires an investment from the Project to finance the cost of having business advisors in charge of accompanying companies in the implementation of SCORE.
