Bruzaholms Bruk is a business with a long history. For more than 350 years, they have been located in the forests of Småland, Sweden. It has been a developmental journey through several eras, and now Boards on Fire is part of this journey as the mill moves forward with digital daily management.
"We had a fairly decent daily management routine where we gathered around whiteboards, as I think many do. But since we started using Boards on Fire, we have really leveled up significantly. The interest and engagement have increased among nearly all staff," says Tove Frisk, CEO of Bruzaholms Bruk.
Today, Bruzaholms Bruk has about 55 employees and manufactures wear-resistant and heat-resistant castings that are exported to customers around the world. The wear-resistant castings are used for replaceable parts in, for example, concrete mixers and gravel washers. The heat-resistant castings can withstand up to 1150 degrees Celsius and are used in combustion furnaces, boilers, and other environments with extremely high temperatures.
Over the past few years, Bruzaholm has actively developed its Lean working methods and techniques and in connection with this, they have also worked a lot with leadership and culture in the organization. With Boards on Fire, they have now taken the next step on this journey and digitalized their daily management.
"When it comes to leadership and cooperation within an organization, information and communication are absolutely crucial. With Boards on Fire, we achieve an impact we haven't had before, we get information out directly to all departments, and they can easily communicate with each other. There simply is no downtime for information anymore, which is a fantastic advantage," says Tove Frisk.
At the mill, daily management operates on four levels. Early in the morning, each department holds its meeting. At seven o'clock, department heads meet with production leaders. After that, the production management along with quality control go through outcomes and address issues not resolved in earlier meetings. Finally, the management team meets at half past eight. By then, most deviations and problems are handled, and the focus shifts more towards decisions on larger matters.
"The biggest advantage of Boards on Fire, I think, is that deviations are really highlighted and nothing falls through the cracks. We should love our deviations, not be ashamed of them, because it is these we need to work on to continuously improve," says the production manager Marie Krantz, and continues:
"Another important aspect is that now everyone quickly gets the same picture of the situation, what today's challenges are. Only then can we help each other by lending personnel or resources between departments and replanning the day where necessary."
