Case Study:
AbE Manufacturing
AbE Manufacturing, Waterloo, WI, was ramping production in early 2020 with extended production to include 2nd shift sanitation by the 2nd week of June. With limited staffing particularly on 2nd and 3rd shift, AbE was looking for 2nd shift sanitation with the capabilities to provide world class sanitation, but also for this team to be self-managed to allow management to focus on delivering this significant volume increase. AbE attempted various things to fill the gaps without success. AbE needed a different solution, and turned to Harrigan Solutions.
Solution & Results:
Harrigan Solutions partnered with AbE’s hourly workforce to develop the daily, weekly and monthly master sanitation program to meet and exceed expectations for world class sanitation, all in less than 7 working days. Over the next few weeks, the Harrigan Solutions team developed Key Performance Indicators (KPI) and tracked their performance. One of the key KPI’s were to pass the daily pre-op inspections by USDA for on-time production startup’s. Harrigan accomplished this every day the very first week on their own on 2nd shift!
Benefits:
- COST: achieving this level of service within our tight budget.
- PEOPLE DEVELOPMENT: our team learned from them, Harrigan learned from our team.
- SAFETY: one of our key priorities in safety, was always Harrigan’s primary focus as well.
- PERFORMANCE: Harrigan addressed our business need and consistently exceeded expectations.
Testimonial:
"The best thing about the experience with Harrigan Solutions was the fit with their leadership philosophy. Right at the top of their performance scoreboard was “people strengths” where they would look for ways to recognize individual and team performance. They would not only recognize success, but they would celebrate it."
"The most impressive thing about Harrigan was how they allowed their people to succeed as well as help discover their identities, building self-esteem. One of the success stories was a person on the crew that had a prior criminal record, and was quite shy and hesitant in his approach to most everything. Due to the Harrigan culture and performance process, you could see personal growth and development daily as he became one of the best performers the plant."
"Harrigan got more work done with two people from Harrigan than we ever thought was possible. They were able to put a team together (in the middle of a pandemic) in less than a month and got stellar results. I’m impressed with their method and tools for employee engagement as well as leadership development. Their work eased the pressure on our small team so that they were no longer spread so thin."
