Vita Food Co., Ltd.

In the beginning, many in the company questioned if the magnitude of return as a result of the project could really be big enough to justify such an investment of over 30 million baht.

However, my intentions had been only to improve the overall performance of our operations through behavior change of the employees and to realize a break-even situation between fees paid to IMPAC and annualized savings in operational costs at the end of the project.

We are now reaping the fruits of the IMPAC 10000 program. The financial benefits generated during the program were impressive. We have saved 137% more than was originally projected. More significantly we got back a return on investment of 332%.

Silja Line

With the support from IMPAC, we have been able to install a Management System which enables detailed control of the operation. The Management System provides the management with relevant information for efficient utilization of the Sales organization in Silja Line Skandinavien. The System has been installed in Phone Booking, Ticket offices, Teminals, Marketing and in Sales Promotion departments.

Your management training, supplied by your team, has raised the skills level of our supervisors and managers to a point that enables them to solve problems and manage their areas more effectively. This increased our ability to identify and realize opportunities at each sales point.

Friesland

The total annual return of our investment into the project has reached 350 per cent (instead of the originally planned 1,400,000 euros it is now 2,500,000 euros). The cumulative saving realized during the project totally covers the cost of initiating the project itself. The rest of the improvements was clear from the beginning to the end with no problems at all.

These significant improvements originate primarily from four areas: the savings on the number of working hours, the decrease in the loss of raw material, the improvement of the utilization of packing material and the savings on domestic energy suppliers. In relation to the total need of working hours, the number of extra house has reduced by 30 percent.

The personal development training carried out among the higher and middle level managers was the main attraction of the project.

We are very pleased with the Access Communications Workshop training sessions conducted by IMPAC in the duration of the project. Behavior change is most evident in my supervisors and line leaders. They are now very proactive in taking action to correct variances highlighted by control which have been implemented.

The production lines have seen a reduction in the standard time to produce the same volume of output and through the close follow up by the supervisors and line leaders, they are able to exceed their targets and achieve the goals which had been set.
