ABSTRACT
The organization should be willing to share the savings from the ideas with the employees who made the suggestions. Usually, the scope of the suggestions requires that someone other than the suggester implements the suggestions or at least approves the suggestions before they can be implemented. As a result, these suggestions are submitted into a formal suggestion program. All individuals and all ideas are eligible for the improvement effectiveness program. Many suggestions are not eligible for the suggestion program. The key elements of the suggestion program are as follows: The suggestion must not be part of the suggester's responsibility, The suggestion does not have to be implemented to be considered, The suggester shares in the savings resulting from the suggestion and The suggestion cannot be pre-dated by activities or plans already under way. In some cases, suggestions will be adopted even though the savings are intangible.
