M.D. OF STANADYNE INDIA
Achiever's Success Story
Don’t count the days, make the days count
It is not always easy to be the most capable person than anyone in an organization but it is possible to be the most competitive. Considering the competition that prevails in the market one must be strong enough to face challenges & overcome tough situations. Hard Work & Perseverance can only make us survive. Whether it be an individual or an organization as a whole until & unless efforts are made in the right direction with a right motive results cannot be achieved. Moreover a leader should be vigilant. Driving a team to attain the goals requires more commitment towards the job in hand.
Daily reviews with the team, identifying bottlenecks & putting the team on the right track is the primary job of a leader. Ground Work with the team gives lot of ideas to share with the team by applying the expertise. Motivation is another aspect which Dr Sanjay Chadda believes in developing a good team. Everybody works for recognition & incentives. Identifying the performers & felicitating them will not only rejuvenate them but it also makes others perform. Awards & Recognitions at Stanadyne are routine & part of the policy. Employee Welfare schemes attract the employees & motivate them. It is a belief that the Management cares for its employees.
His significant accomplishments as a leader at Stanadyne are many since my joining as Managing Director of the organization. One accomplishment which he will remember all throughout his career is the increased demand from existing customers during the COVID 19 second wave. Operational Challenges during the past 2 yrs. of pandemic were more difficult to handle. Lockdown – 2 for the 2nd wave of COVID19 was critical for Stanadyne since the business is dependent more on exports. The World recovered & started increasing the demand for products. Situation in India was severe & very difficult to manage. O2 cylinders required for the process were also critical.
Considering the timeline of 11 projects in pipeline & the demand for existing products from the customer which need to be adhered, a cross functional team was organized by the OPERATIONS with other supporting functions to consider all the issues case by case on a 4M based analysis & the actions along with contingencies were listed. Daily Review Meetings through Microsoft Teams include 15 minutes of discussion to discuss the bottlenecks that may arise from the planned activities. All possible ideas from the members were taken to fulfill the customer requirements. Stanadyne saw an increased demand in sales during the 2nd wave & the company was able to fulfill the demands of all the customers during this period. The company made a record sales during the critical situation & the excellent team work of Stanadyne was exhibited during this period.
