The new management system that was installed in the manufacturing areas helped the 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, rework and scrap, thus making them more proactive in addressing such problems. Productivity has improved dramatically during the course of the project, from 60% last year to an average of 90% to date.

The installation areas involved are Sales, Marketing and Logistics. The new systems installed allow a better planning and controlling of the variances. Managers as well as Team Leaders are getting more control of the areas and start to take corrective actions. The introduction of such elements as variance reports, management reports and review meeting in all areas support the managers to improve performance.
We are benefiting to a large extent from the installation of the forecast process as well as from the new budget process and the resulting detailed customer plans for each customer and product group. Common focus is set on the profitability and costs, ensuring that spendings will be allocated to their utmost potential.
During the project IMPAC also accompanied us in the effective restructuring of the organization, which we implemented with excellent results.

In a short period of time, the IMPAC team has found the way how to provide savings, through increasing productivity with the main focus on behavior change and control mechanism, as well as other potentials which were not in out previous awareness nor internally identified.
The results of the past 10 months showed that the installation of IMPAC Implementation program successfully activated a transparent system enabling a better understanding and follow-up responsibilities.
Our supervisors and managers were able to utilize performance indexes to measure and confront low performance. They have become enthusiastic and proactive in achieving their responsibilities.

It is my firm belief that Impac has a lot to offer to any organization seeking to improve their operation’s productivity and profitability. It is my intent to enlist Impac’s support wherever and whatever in the future to drive profit improvements which is very necessary to survive in today’s business climate.

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.

As a result of IMPAC implementation, we have seen the behavior change in particular areas:
- From reactive to preventive with planning tools
- More effective communication for both inter and intra departments
- Increased level of compliance to company procedure through clear role and responsibility
In terms of operation achievements, the project has successfully achieved:
- Significant increase in productivity
- Significant increase in productivity
- Great reduction downtime (line stop)
- Locator system installation leads to effective working tool in warehouse
We found your approach very effective. With 43 calendar weeks of the program, you are able to change our people behavior and improve our operation, which we have tried to achieve for the last 10 years.

We, in Nestle Norway thus engaged Impac and commissioned them to fine-comb the whole of our organization, i.e. three factories and our head-office/ sales organizations. The work was concluded and the result achieved-obviously varying somewhat from place to place-not only achieved our expectations, but even surpassed them in most instances.
In our work with Impac, we discovered that your organization basically is a system or tool-probably currently the best one on the market-which helps the customers to achieve the desired results with regard to productivity and efficiency.
The training of our mid-and supervisory management, the training of internal coordinators, the sensibilisation of the management team as well as the continued follow-up from Impac’s side have all contributed to that extend.
Concluding I ought also to mention that in our case Impac’s engagement led to a situation where we could maintain production volumes with roughly 30% less resources used.

Versowood started the creation and implementation of a new management system, together with IMPAC in the fall of 2004, with a goal of increasing productivity and improving the quality of products as well as the operations along the entire cycle. The activities, profitability and quality of the group are being monitored through a reliable weekly reporting system created during the project. Through the management system the operations in the different production unit has become more standardized, giving the organization the opportunity to operate uniformity.
A clear management system also provides the company with the tools for further development, either through expansion by corporate takeovers or through other organizational growth-tools.
The financial gains brought the project were, thought measurements, an ROI over 290% as was projected in the beginning. We have been pleased with the project, IMPAC’s commitment to us as well as their through and practical was of operations.

We are very pleased with the professional work performed by IMPAC team, which together with our people, have changed our warehouse logistics around.
The management behavior trainings, tailored to our specific needs, helped not only to change the mindset of our managers at all levels, but also supported our transition move into a new warehouse facility which occurred during the course of the project.
The initial planned annual savings from the project were exceeded. Our project reached the annual savings 30% more than it was expected.
