Employees can pitch ideas across a range of categories including product development, manufacturing process development, sustainable business development, energy saving, productivity improvement, cost reduction, technology/IT upgradation and Human Resource, among others. These ideas will be examined for its impact on business goals, feasibility, uniqueness, value to the customer/organization/workforce and adoptability.
