Malvar Plant of Monde Nissin Corporation (MNC) becomes the first site of MNC to achieve the Phase 2 Integrated Work System (IWS) status, following a rigorous assessment that covers business results, safety and quality foundations, operational/manufacturing excellence, capability and organization culture parameters.
IWS is a business and operational excellence strategy developed by Procter & Gamble (P&G), used by MNC under licensing agreements. IWS combines the best practices from across various supply chain methodologies such as total productive maintenance (TPM), high performance work systems (HPWS), continuous improvement via PDCA, etc and all of P&G’s best practices for supply chain mastery.
Malvar Plant started up in 2021, despite major disruptions due to COVID. The Run-to-Target (RTT) strategy was piloted and in 2023, the preparatory stage for a full IWS implementation has been set. Malvar achieved over 655 days with zero injuries, no product recalls, customer service level at 99%, with 4% unplanned downtime, and the most productive site within the MNC network, leveraging digital solutions for a paperless and highly integrated daily management system.
The intense 3-day assessment was led by P&G Global Directors for Manufacturing Innovation Capability Marc Winkelman and (co-led by) Stefano Caruso.
Congratulations to Site Head @Ramon Estrella and the Malvar leadership team for this achievement! Special thanks to the MNC Corporate Technical Organization and internal coaches for enabling the site.
Malvar Plant will be the Lighthouse of IWS Excellence for other MNC sites as role model on delivering breakthrough business results through rigorous systems implementation, best-in-class capabilities and digital solutions, anchored on desired culture that brings the strategies to life, daily.
