Eliminating waste with the skills matrix

Find out how one company has levelled-up their training processes, reduced waste and embraced a new method of training record keeping.
  • 9 January 2025
  • GembaDocs HQ

GembaDocs’ Skills Module is already making waves by eliminating waste across the board for early adopters! Here’s a how just one company has levelled-up their training processes, reduced waste and embraced a new method of training record keeping.

The by-product of adopting the Skills Matrix was reducing SO MUCH waste 🗑️…

🔁Overprocessing

Eliminates the need for repetitive updates to training records and manual cross-referencing.
In the past, they’ve had to create their own matrix in Excel, inputting and maintaining a lot of data weekly. Now, the matrix is automatically generated and ties in with SOPs.

🚩Defects

Reduces errors from missed validations and expired training records. They can now set expiry dates and avoid manually going through each folder to make sure everyone is validated.

🕒Waiting

Speeds up access to skill data by centralizing SOPs and training records. Instead of going folder by folder to verify who’s signed off on what, everything is now digitally linked and instantly accessible.

⏭ Motion

Cuts down unnecessary physical movement in managing folders. Previously, they had to move folders from the office to a secure location and back every time they needed to update a record. This process was very, very labor-intensive.

📦Inventory

Reduces clutter from storing unnecessary or outdated physical files. As they used to store folders in a secure location, which took up space and effort to organize. Now, everything is saved instantly and digitally in GembaDocs.

🌟Underutilization of Talent

Enhances workforce planning by quickly identifying skill gaps. The big winner is it shows where the gaps are, so they can prioritize training and focus on the right areas at the right time.
