The objectives we set for the program were met, and in some specific areas they were over achieved. This includes the Return on Investment.
Through the Impac project Gigante acquired a methodology for training the people that are responsible of implementing the right behaviors and supplying the right tools to our staff in their day-to-day contact with our customers.
As a result of this, Management Training and the skills for identifying continuous improvement opportunities will remain as a key success factor for our future.

We started this management system improvement program and have covered approximately 40% of our operational teams. We have committed to furthering the investment in time and money and plans exist for the analysis phase for the next 40% of the operations organization.
The results are visible and appreciated by both line and management layers. These results have been achieved by hand work on both parts of the project and organizational teams involved and particularly I wanted to indicate the fresh and practical, though somewhat frank approached your team take. It leads into situation resolution which is needed in programs such as these and I believe we have benefited from their presence.

The yield rate of our production reached 86% in the first few weeks after project started and made a new highest point in the record. We were surprised that correct attitude of supervisor level, managers and augmented control of every production machine can substantially improve the yield rate. This is a new confine that science cannot reach.

Results of the past months showed that the installation of IMPAC 10000 gives a transparent system enabling an easier definition and follow-up of responsibilities. It makes it possible to track frequent and avoidable problems and take actions in order to eliminate them.
Working together with IMPAC showed that it is an important role and task of the managers to make sure that the time available for preventive maintenance is used in the most effective way. This leads to decrease in the frequency and duration of emergency breakdowns.

The appeal of IMPAC was precisely the focus on the shop floor, the frontlines, middle managers and the emphasis on performance to agreed upon standards.
With time and opportunity, we will multiply our gains through productivity consciousness at all levels. The savings are there and the attitude change in our management has been significant.
