This allows Hoogvliet to deliver fresh bread to its branches multiple times a day. The experienced operators are the bakery\u2019s most important asset.

Additionally, the texts are written in two languages: Dutch and English.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Willemsen: \u2018We started a pilot in November 2023 on one of our three production lines for eight weeks. After that, we conducted a survey among the operators, which showed a lot of enthusiasm. It was really the right way to work. We then decided to expand; since April 2024, we have been working with tasks, work instructions and checklists on all lines. We plan to set up <a href=\"https:\/\/ezfactory.nl\/en\/audits\/\">audits<\/a> next.

Agnieszka therefore always asked different operators how they work before documenting it in the app. This sometimes led to discussions, says Willemsen: \u2018Agnieszka doesn\u2019t have a managerial position and can\u2019t make that decision alone. When different people had different ideas about the best way to work, we decided together. There is ultimately only one best way of working. It is now accessible to everyone. If there is ever a discussion about it, you can simply refer to the work instruction. This is also very useful for training new people.\u2019[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;align-center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604050672289{padding-top: 2vh !important;padding-bottom: 1vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-9&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;18994&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;align-center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604050672289{padding-top: 2vh !important;padding-bottom: 1vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-9&#8243;]\t<div id=\"thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9bee\" class=\"thb-slidetype \" data-style=\"style1\">\n\t\t\n<h6><span class=\"thb-slidetype-entry\"><span class=\"lines\">IMPROVEMENT<\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9bee .thb-slidetype-entry {\n\t\t\t\tcolor: #99bc48;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;]\t<div id=\"thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9c20\" class=\"thb-slidetype \" data-style=\"style1\">\n\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"thb-slidetype-entry\"><span class=\"lines\">Doing more with data<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221;]Recurring tasks are now documented, as are checklists and work instructions. Additionally, operators use the option to create actions if they encounter something unusual. Van Dijk: \u2018The enthusiasm for this was so great that we had to filter it a bit at first. Not every point is an action. It\u2019s running smoothly now.\u2019 Willemsen believes that more should be done with this information in the company. \u2018These actions are relevant and meant to be resolved. So, you have to resolve them. The team leaders haven\u2019t fully grasped this yet. We now address this by reviewing the list of actions during work meetings and deciding together what needs to be done for each action. Then it\u2019s quickly resolved.\u2019[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;align-center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604050672289{padding-top: 2vh !important;padding-bottom: 1vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-9&#8243;]\t<div id=\"thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9c4b\" class=\"thb-slidetype \" data-style=\"style1\">\n\t\t\n<h6><span class=\"thb-slidetype-entry\"><span class=\"lines\">ADDITIONAL SUPPORT<\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9c4b .thb-slidetype-entry {\n\t\t\t\tcolor: #99bc48;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;]\t<div id=\"thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9c74\" class=\"thb-slidetype \" data-style=\"style1\">\n\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"thb-slidetype-entry\"><span class=\"lines\">Setting up the structure well<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221;]It was a bit of a search at first: what exactly is a task, when do you use a checklist, and what are work instructions for. Willemsen: \u2018We hadn\u2019t fully understood all the possibilities of the app. After the pilot, we asked for additional support from EZ Factory, which now allows us to make optimal use of all the platform\u2019s functionalities. They also helped us look beyond just the app itself. For example, how to use the app in communication between team leaders and operators, or what you can do with the reports.\u2019[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;align-center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604050672289{padding-top: 2vh !important;padding-bottom: 1vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-9&#8243;]\t<div id=\"thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9ca8\" class=\"thb-slidetype \" data-style=\"style1\">\n\t\t\n<h6><span class=\"thb-slidetype-entry\"><span class=\"lines\">MAINTENANCE<\/span><\/span><\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9ca8 .thb-slidetype-entry {\n\t\t\t\tcolor: #99bc48;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;20px&#8221;]\t<div id=\"thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9cd4\" class=\"thb-slidetype \" data-style=\"style1\">\n\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"thb-slidetype-entry\"><span class=\"lines\">A living system<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;10px&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;animation bottom-to-top&#8221;]\u2018We\u2019re not there yet,\u2019 says Van Dijk. \u2018When you use such a platform, you must realize that it doesn\u2019t run itself. You have to fill and maintain the system properly. You have a certain goal with it, and it\u2019s important to keep that in mind. We mainly wanted to document and make the knowledge of our operators accessible in a user-friendly way. We succeeded.\u2019 Willemsen concludes: \u2018We also find it very important that the system contributes to job satisfaction. It ensures that everyone knows what is expected of them, and there is less discussion. EZ Factory says \u201cPower to the Operator\u201d, and that\u2019s exactly what we achieved. That\u2019s the main advantage of this platform for me.\u2019[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row thb_full_width=&#8221;true&#8221; thb_row_padding=&#8221;true&#8221; thb_column_padding=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1596794108971{margin-top: 50px !important;padding-top: 8vh !important;padding-bottom: 8vh !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/ezfactory.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/5008.jpg?id=4573) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner el_class=&#8221;align-center&#8221;][vc_column_inner thb_color=&#8221;thb-light-column&#8221; el_class=&#8221;text-center&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-10&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;]\t<div id=\"thb-slidetype-69e602f2a9cfa\" class=\"thb-slidetype \" data-style=\"style1\">\n\t\t\n<h2><span class=\"thb-slidetype-entry\"><span class=\"lines\">Ready to improve<em> Safety, Quality and Efficiency<\/em> in your factory?<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t[vc_empty_space]\t<a id=\"thb-button-69e602f2a9d4e\" class=\"btn style2 large  white pill-radius    \" href=\"https:\/\/ezfactory.nl\/en\/demo-ez-go\/\" target=\"_blank\" role=\"button\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<span>Start Now!<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row thb_full_width=&#8221;true&#8221; thb_row_padding=&#8221;true&#8221; thb_column_padding=&#8221;true&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1732196213785{padding-top: 20vh !important;padding-bottom: 20vh !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/ezfactory.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/23t32.png?id=18983) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;portfolio-mast-head&#8221;][vc_column thb_color=&#8221;thb-light-column&#8221; el_class=&#8221;text-center&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;48px&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;EZ-GO Journey Hoogvliet&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h1|font_size:50|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:800%20bold%20regular%3A800%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_custom_heading text=&#8221;Best practices are now well established in the platform&#8221; font_container=&#8221;tag:h2|font_size:40|text_align:center|color:%23ffffff&#8221; google_fonts=&#8221;font_family:Open%20Sans%3A300%2C300italic%2Cregular%2Citalic%2C600%2C600italic%2C700%2C700italic%2C800%2C800italic|font_style:300%20light%20regular%3A300%3Anormal&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;48px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row el_class=&#8221;align-center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1604050977072{padding-top: 10vh !important;padding-bottom: 2vh !important;}&#8221;][vc_column offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-9&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]The Hoogvliet bakery supplies its stores&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-18606","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>EZ-GO Journey from Hoogvliet - EZ Factory<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The Hoogvliet bakery supplies its stores several times a day with a wide and fresh range of bread.
