In course of the project, IMPAC proposed changes in management methods, worked out and implemented the tools facilitating effectiveness of management systems in production workshops, maintenance area and quality control department.
Also a number of business processes were restructured, it is worth mentioning that IMPAC’s unique approach provides the involvement of all management levels at every stage of the project.
Such approach to building a professional behaviour of supervisors and managers as well as new management systems resulted in overachievement of key project goals; in addition, specially designed training program for all levels of management has led to considerable positive changes in corporate management culture.

The Major focus of our joint efforts was to facilitate the behavior change and more business-like behavior of the Restaurant Managers and Operation Consultants, that would result in better bottom line corporate profit.
Through the introduction and application of the IMPAC 10000 Program over 32 restaurants we have achieved an average 20% productivity increase and we have been successful in inducing better compliance to McDonald’s standards and more effective utilization of management control systems. Expressed in financial terms, the project brought a 210% return of the initial investment on an annualized basis.
I can see positive changes in behavior of both the Operations Consultants and Restaurants managers:
- They are able to plan for utilize the resources better
- They are more proactive
- They are able to identify opportunities for further improvement
- They are more committed to our company goals

The behaviour change amongst the management has been successful especially as far as cost awareness and overtime control.
The crewing guides which have been developed is a very good tool for us to determine the manpower requirements for analyzed departments in future.
The savings projected during the analysis have been considerable in excess of the plan.

As overall results of the IMPAC 10000 program, we want to mention:
- Improved management control systems in production, planning, QA/QC as well as Maintenance
- Improved inter and intra communications between department
- Improved problem solving techniques
- Reduction in scrap/rework
- Reduce material consumption
Significantly, the above has resulted in:
- Improvement in material losses by 30%

Even more important perhaps than the financial result is the achievement in setting the grounds for a proper behavior at the supervisory and mid-management level.
