Hi, there! My name is Robert, and I’m happy you’re reading my blog!
20 years ago I joined to a global American company IMPAC. Along with colleagues I worked on implementation of KPI (Key Performance Indicator, meaning numeral values of relevant parameters of processes in an organization). In the framework of projects I held trainings, workshops, to users how to define, measure, interpret and control their values.
I had a chance to experience how this method gives results in a meat processing factory in Sweden (where employees spend their 10 min pause resting in arm chairs in a club-room equipped with newspapers, coffee and tea machines) and in a metal foundry factory in Ural (Russia) where operators spent their 10 min pause smoking and drinking while seating on empty cans of oil! To implement measurements were necessary in both companies, and it gave result in Sweden and Russia as well!
Each company is unique, has his own targets and ways of realization, but they are led by managers, operated by employees and we know: people have their good and bad moments everywhere on the globe! That’s the reason, KPI system functions good as:
- The relevant parameters of process are found (example: tiles factory – number of produced tiles is relevant, their color not that much)
- The measurement of KPI is formulated simply and precisely (Simply summarizing of number of tiles is not OK because of different dimension tile. Now we see, that not number, but the produced surface is relevant and we convert number in a surface!)
- Result are evaluated prompt (not after 2 weeks)
- Value of figures are used as an entry parameter of corrective actions that are shaping next day production
- Employees receive feedback based on measured values
In this blog you will found experiences collected working with companies while they improved their productivity figures, and made their processes safer, stabile and employees more engaged.
What is surprising to me:
- Managers of well-known companies I met (some of them present on the stock market) all are aware there is room for improvement in their business
- They decided to use this room mobilizing their inner reserve
- Gartner-s statistical data says: 80 % of companies already decided to invest in improvement
In this blog I want to share my experiences in this journey, and open possibility to give on-line/on-site support for you, who is taking the same way!

Please find impression of Managers, I worked with:
