Gainsharing

Gainsharing is a process that rewards a facility's membership for identifiable incremental savings as measured through a well communicated, very structured basis. Based on years of development in very successful organizations, Operations Improvement US offers a mature gainsharing process.

In this project's design, gains are:

1. Identifiable - did not allow any soft savings.
   
   
2. Incremental - savings were on top of any other productivity increases.
   
   
3. Rewarded at a fixed % of realized savings.
   
   
4. Used a project gainsharing life with starting and ending payout time periods.
   
   
5. Were shared depending on individual measurements such as attendance.
   
   
6. Utilized a continuous improvement leadership council to provide a forum for improvement ideas to come forward and be developed further.
