Sanyo

The first reaction to IMPAC supervision was that we were astonish that the IMPAC team could, through their professionalism, collect and analyze data from various sectors with high efficiency and accuracy within such a short period of time. And furthermore, the “Training” and “Monthly Progress” presentations to the Sanyo’s staff was excellent in which I myself had gained much knowledge and experiences that I was not aware during my years of working life.

The very thing about IMPAC System program is that, it is also mean to reform PT. SANYO Compressor Indonesia to achieve cultural assimilation. We could know see significant changes in the attitude and way of thinking of the Local Managers and Frontline Supervisors and Leaders, even though they were not that enthusiastic in the beginning.

The IMPAC team came into our company with great enthusiasm and commitment, working closely with our managers and supervisors, and leading them to see that problems are opportunities for improvement if analyzed and confronted.

In more tangible terms, IMPAC has also proven to achieve monetary savings, quality improvements and productivity gains. We were aiming for a significant increase in production output and with the stimulus of the IMPAC team, we are well on the way to our target and our management team is confident of achieving it. Quality has also seen a tremendous improvement since IMPAC started working with our people in this area.

The developed management system meant a training and coaching to the managers at the same time. We consider it important that during trainings persuasion was used as a tool: or managers and supervisors could check the usability of the system before and during implementation through practical examples. This has become a base for long term, continuous and high level utilization.

This way the level of spontaneous actions decreased and we achieved a high level of productive operation.

At the completion of PT. Samick-IMPAC program, the following are the achievements attained:

  1.       Reduction of material consumption
  2.       Increased productivity
  3.       Savings guarantee had been met 16 times during project time. End of project recovery is 90%.
  4.       Return on investment is 339%

The biggest achievement is the change in thinking, awareness and responsibility of not only the Executives and Managers, but also of the supervisors and the Foremen.

Our supervision is now doing more active direct supervision and less hourly work in managing their respective areas. Management tools have been installed to help distinguish responsibility clearly for each department. No more firefighting, but coordinating together to figure out solutions.
