Project Objectives
- Improve company culture to foster a more engaged and productive workforce.
- Enhance product yield to maximise profitability.
- Eliminate waste from business processes and systems to improve overall efficiency.
Our Solution
The Lean Hub collaborated with Fresh Meats to optimise both their operational efficiency and company culture. By identifying wasteful practices and fine-tuning their processes, we helped the team focus on improving product yield and operational quality. A key aspect of the project was to shift the business towards high-quality production, reducing throughput to focus on excellence, while simultaneously enhancing the company’s financial performance.
Key Outcomes
- Improved Culture
A more engaged and motivated workforce, resulting in a more collaborative and efficient operation. - Reduced Throughput, Higher Quality
By reducing throughput by 50%, Fresh Meats shifted its focus to producing higher-quality products. - Increased Financial Turnover
Despite lowering throughput, Fresh Meats improved its financial turnover by over 120%, demonstrating the power of focusing on quality and efficiency.
Fresh Meats’ lean transformation resulted in a more efficient, quality-driven operation that has significantly boosted profitability and strengthened their global reputation as a provider of premium lamb products.
