Suggestion system poster

A suggestion system is the way a plant collects, answers and acts on improvement ideas from everyone. Ideas keep coming only if the loop closes every time: the idea is shared, it gets an answer quickly (yes or no, with a reason), it is tried with the person who had it, and that person is thanked in public and the idea copied to other areas. This poster draws the loop and leaves space to write where ideas go and how fast you promise to reply.

Which size to print

24 x 36 in or A2: a main wall or team board, read from a few metres away.
18 x 24 in or A3: a station or notice board. The A3 file also fits 11 x 17 in paper.
Letter or A4: a clipboard, binder or handout, on any office printer.

Every PDF is vector, so it stays sharp at full size. Nothing runs to the edge of the page, so no bleed is needed.
