ANAD FY15 Group Award Program metrics announced

By Pamela Robertson, ANAD Director of Resource ManagementFebruary 12, 2015

ANNISTON ARMY DEPOT, Ala. -- The depot experienced a very successful fiscal year 2014, both financially and in our production requirements, through everyone's collective efforts.

Although the installation fell slightly short of achieving all the metrics established for last year, we did receive a $1,300 payout for eligible employees.

Recently, an agreement was reached between ANAD leadership and the local American Federation of Government Employees on a Group Award Program for FY15.

As all ANAD employees should be aware, the goal of the GAP is to reward the workforce for contributions allowing the depot to meet and/or exceed established metrics.

The six metrics categories, many of which were in effect last year, are Performance to Promise, Productive Yield, Quality Efficiencies, Safety Efficiencies, Inventory and ISO certifications.

Within the Safety Efficiencies metrics are a couple of newly established programs -- a Safety Suggestion Program and Employee Safety Indicators in the production and administrative areas.

If you haven't already, you will hear much more about these from the Safety Office.

The payout established for FY15 is $1,500 per eligible employee and individual metrics range from $36 at the lowest success level to $540 at the highest.

The anticipated date of award payout is Nov. 12.

The entire policy and metrics are located on the ANAD Intranet under Regulations & Policies/Commander's Policies/ANAD GAP FY15 Policy if you would like to read or better understand the overall goals.

Additionally, the policy will be made available electronically to all ANAD personnel with computer access. If anyone has questions concerning how they can have a positive impact on the metrics, please discuss it with your supervisor.

As we did last year, progress against the metrics will be provided on a monthly basis in TRACKS, so please be sure to read and "track" where we stand each month.

The goals established are attainable and I know Team ANAD will produce the best results possible!

Provided at right is the progress as of Jan. 31 for each of the metrics which have been measured.
