value, profitability
Every company seeks to improve delivery to each of their stakeholders. If we stand still our competitors are sure to catch up and overtake us. Improvement will never come with “more of the same”.
Change is not negotiable. However, change is difficult without a clear path to follow and without informed and capable leadership. The Best Practices promoted by CDI AMA are drawn from analysis of successful practices the world over.
Over 95% of the companies, who followed the program have enjoyed success and recovered their investment many times over. The comments below represent but a tiny fraction of the positive feedback we have received over the past twenty years of successful implementations.
A good strategy together with a good choice of goals, committed managers and senior management assistance in implementing
MDW TM was very important.
The decision to work with CDI in implementing MDW TM has been one of the most important we have made. I am very pleased with the results, improving staff attitudes in relation to their work and meeting the goals
Mission-Directed Work-Teams TM has consistently demonstrated a very positive impact on plant safety measures.
During the first 12 months of launching Mission Directed Workgroups (MDW TM) we realized a $1.8 million dollars savings and had double digit improvements in Safety, People, Quality, Speed and Cost.
Within just six months of launching Mission-Directed Work-Teams TM / Mission Focused Teams (MFT) at our Memphis site, cost savings initiatives directly attributable to MFT generated over $400,000 of annualized savings.
Prior lean implementations gave us improvements in process but did not really involve the people. The MDW TM structure is all about getting the people engaged.
We began MDW TM in November of 2011 and since then, we have received 5,342 improvement ideas directly from our employees. We have implemented over 4500 of their ideas and those that dealt with safety, we have completed 96% of them. Prior to MDW TM, we were lucky to get 5 or 10 ideas per year.
When I first thought of team metrics, I thought it was just a boring thing to learn and taking 8 minutes out of our day (was a waste of time). But since a year has passed, I have learned so much of what everyone does in the company that contributes to make it better...
The process has brought everyone on board. People see that they have an impact, that they are valued and we are all on this journey together. This has made all the difference...
Excellent program, your company will never be the same after applying these tools
The results have exceeded our original expectations and have really been nothing short of spectacular
The program was a complete success and allowed our Brewery and Soft Drinks operations to achieve outstanding results in our region
MDW as a tool has assisted the Concentrator team to focus on the key operational aspects that reduce process variation from the set KPIs.
For me and my teams which are spread across a number of plant units, the MDW methodology has provided us an effective tool to firstly engage the various teams on the agreed key KPIs for the sections, discuss variances and also possible solutions and secondly it allows me as a leader to promote and reinforce all positive efforts from each and every member of my team so as to sustain a culture of learning and development and to continually meet our targets.
How we help companies
All companies have different challenges; so one size certainly does not fit all. If required CDI AMA will conduct an initial assessment, so that we can be sure appropriate problems are being addressed and the implementation will fit in with current practices. The selected techniques are simplified and coached to the key employees, and managers receive the skills to sustain and build upon the success. This internal competence ensures that performance is sustainable for years into the future.
Follow-up coaching sessions are then scheduled to assure conformance with the best practices and to introduce new skills to guarantee that operations use the best available and most effective techniques.
