The Food & Drink Sector faces the following challenges
- Highly enforced and ever-tightening regulations both for health & safety (H&S) and traceability, demanding changes to both products and processes
- Ever increasing consumer demands whilst keeping prices low
- Demand amplification (the effects of second-guessing actual consumer demand), compounded by high levels of promotional activity
- Retailer demands for both new products and new new variants with short life-cycles
- Escalating energy, material and transportation costs
- Retailer imposed shelf-life demands
- Natural variation in materials that arise from either the external climatic environment or the external living or growing conditions
- Complex and variable supply chains
How we can help
These external conditions intensify the need for food and drink manufacturing companies to be responsive, agile, sustainable and continuously improve.
We follow a systemic (not a tactical tools and techniques) approach which includes:
- Strategy Formation and Deployment
- Local Management and Improvement
- End to end (E2E) Process Management and Customer Care points
Assessment and development of End to End (E2E) sustainable Improvement Journey Roadmaps
We use the Lean Business Model, Enterprise Excellence Model or the Lean Scorecard approach as the assessment standard for Roadmap development, based on what our client needs to achieve.
