“…Long time periods for search are also avoided, especially when referencing many other documents [8]. Furthermore, innovation cycles are shortened by integrating WIS into employee qualification [9]. One reason is that WIS are near to industrial practice on shop-floor.…”

Worker information systems provide the right information at the right time in a lean way. In this paper, the need for an integrated feedback system with formalised text parts is exposed. To meet the disadvantages of a lack of feedback, two important points are identified: involving of workers and guaranteeing a high information quality. Several approaches show that workers have to be included into an early stage of product development process to improve product details and especially assembly scenarios. Also, workers get an idea of their contribution to a zero-waste production. If more information is created, the quality gets more important. It is explained what quality criteria should be considered. Technical realisations for a feedback system close this paper.
