With a workforce of 100-150 full-time employees (FTEs), the company is dedicated to delivering high-quality products while maintaining a strong connection to their rural roots.
Project Objectives
- Improve inefficient processes to streamline production.
- Increase yield and raise awareness of the financial impact of missed yield opportunities.
- Train and build capability among staff at the production management level.
Our Solution
The Lean Hub worked with Farmland Foods to identify inefficiencies in their production processes and improve overall yield. By implementing lean practices, we trained production management staff to better understand the costs associated with yield loss and inefficiencies. Our efforts focused on building the team’s ability to manage production more effectively and create a culture of continuous improvement.
Key Outcomes
- Enhanced Process Efficiency
Streamlined production processes led to improved operational efficiency. - Improved Yield Awareness
Staff gained a deeper understanding of the cost implications of missed yield, helping to reduce waste and increase profitability. - Strengthened Management Capability
Training initiatives improved the leadership skills of production managers, enabling them to manage operations more effectively.
Through targeted improvements in process efficiency and management training, Farmland Foods has been able to optimise production, reduce waste, and boost overall profitability
