Case Studies
Study#1:
Multi-National Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Company.
Problems: The operations department, which is responsible for scheduling, coordinating and shipping product, inventory control and maintaining documentation, had low productivity, missing documentation, non compliant to FDA regulations and unable to track shipments accurately and employees disagreeing with each other.
Personnel Demographics: 35 total department employees
10 Exempt @ $52,000.00 annually
25 Non Exempt = $12/HR
Cost of looking for missing documentation:
- 2 exempt & 2 non exempt employees spent 8 hours a day to recover missing documentation
- 2 Exempt employees earn $104,000 annually ($52,000 x 2)
- 2 Non exempt employees earn $49,960 annually ($12/HR x 2080 hrs = $24,960/YR)
- Paid $153,960 to employees to look for missing documentation
Solution & Results:
Employees attended an Authentic Technologies Team Building Training. Through the consensus building process the Team created a Bar Code Tracking System which eliminated missing documentation. In addition, employees communicated effectively with one another; utilized each other for support and as a resource; minimized and solved conflicts cooperatively. The team determined its vision and mission which increased productivity, improved inventory turns & cash flow, reduced absenteeism and shipped products faster. They work more effectively and are focused in the same direction. Additionally over $100,000 in productivity savings was experienced by the company.
