This study is related
to the improvement of the recording system (file preparation) with the design
thinking by saving time and cost without any data loss at Istanbul Metropolitan
Municipality Gas Distribution Inc.’s (İGDAŞ). In the current system, 5142
attachments are prepared per year for 72 files, and this intensive workload
caused the department members to be harsh against to each other and especially
to the contractors when they are stressful to do their jobs. The number of
attachments has been reduced from 5142 to 396 as a result of the implementation
of the design thinking as innovation process. Our aim is to introduce this
innovative system by solving this problem which affects work productivity and
stress. In the process, we interviewed with our staff, managers, coordinators,
contractors, engineers. Our remediation that we come up is to reorganize the
forms. Thanks to this new solution, time and material saving reaches 576 days
and 300,000 pages (94% down).
I am indebted thankful to department chief Aslı Ayla Çakirgöz and Prof. Jeanne Lietka due to their support.
