Your staff was issued a tremendous challenge and has done a fantastic job managing two clients, Anheuser-Busch and our Wholesaler.
Our Chicago wholesales is experiencing positive volume, and more importantly, is outperforming his surrounding wholesalers. Similar results are also evident in Riverside, California, thanks in part to your implementation of what we refer to as the “sixth phase,” or the training segment of our IMPAC implementation.
Your people are an asset to Anheuser-Busch’s Sales Development Consulting Group and those wholesalers where they work.

I have to say that the long-term results prove that the work done has greatly benefited our organization.
Our internal reporting system allows that we have on time results and my people are discussing every morning the last day achievements, analyzing the root cause of problems and presenting their ideas how to correct the situation.
In summary I am very glad that our organization took the step to implement the IMPAC methodology. Without this support we would not have been able to model the behaviours and develop this level of consistency in the given time frame. It is the way of thinking which helps the organization to cope with all the different challenges and provide quality to customers on a high level ahead of competition internally with a solid standard of productivity.

This program constitutes the implementation of a Management Control System in our organization. I’m satisfied with the activities performed and results achieved in order to reach our objectives in reducing cost and in improving communication within our organization.
With this my people are more pro-active and very conscious to reduce the operating cost of the company.

We have achieved significant efficiency and productivity improvements increase in the different plants with the help of your team. Through the application of sound management fundamentals, we are learning to make the changes required to accelerate and perpetuate a working environment of continuous improvement.
There was a positive change in the behavior and attitudes of our managers and all our staff are now much more aware of the objectives and needs of the business and the part they are expected to play in achieving our goals.
Throughout the project, the IMPAC team working with our Management team adopted a strong systematic approach to installing effective systems to manage and control the key elements of our business.

I would like to express my real satisfaction related to improved productivity of the company, and what is more important for me personally, behavior change of the employees.
The productivity in the Shipyard has been improved significantly thanks to IMPAC specialists working very closely with my people, designing and implementing modified management systems. Shipyard management is now more productivity oriented, more cost aware and proactive in solving their problems.
Summarizing, I am happy to recommend IMPAC to all the companies seeking for cost reduction, increased productivity and changed employee attitude towards their job.

The installed Energy and Production new systems, as well as reinforcement training program have brought many positive changes in the factory, outlined hereinafter:
- The new heating control system helped us to reduce local consumption due to the reduction of losses and increased efficiency of system consumption.
- The new electricity control system.
- The improvements have brought the 10% rework reduction and more efficient follow up on production process.
- We have increased production norms and reduced the direct workload in the production area, which allowed us to slash the production costs.
- The training sessions for middle management and supervisors have already benefit with the positive behaviour change and expanded managing skills.

With the support and guidance by IMPAC, we were established our company goals and expectations, and rolled it down to all management levels. The improved management system helped supervisors to control operations at the point of execution. Furthermore, the installed controls made our people more aware of the cost implications of lost time, rejects and scrap, thus making them proactive in addressing such problems.
The financial benefits generated during the program were impressive. We got back a return on investment 325%.

We are now in week 18 of our 35-week project with IMPAC and I wanted to take this opportunity to share my views with you regarding the work done so far.
By working on the floor with the supervisors and installing new management systems we have managed to get our resource utilization levels up with approximately 5% and have realized savings of more than 300% above plan.
Day after I am amazed of the behaviour change that the executives and I can observe amongst our managers and supervisors.

You will know that we have commenced projects at our Virginia plant, in our global supply chain systems and will soon commence a project to improve performance in our other US plants and in our sales force around the world.
- You promised a return on investment of 300%. We achieved 1400%.
- You stated that we would recoup 70% of the project cost by the end of the project. In reality we have already received more than twice the project cost back in pocket.

The managers and the first line supervision have improved the control of their operations and have now a much greater awareness of their performance. We are able to better plan our resources according to our needs. Variances to our plan are detected early, and the control systems have provided our people with the tools to take appropriate corrective action at the right time.
As a result of the behavioral training that has coincided with the installation of the management controls, we have noticed a positive change in both the supervisors and the line leaders behavior.
Efficiency and productivity are expected to scale up with the sound management fundamentals imparted by the IMPAC team.
Considering all the above, I would recommend this program to be evaluated by any executive that is aiming at improving the productivity of their organization in a sustainable way.
