Food and Beverage Manufacturing Consulting

Improving food and beverage manufacturing by fostering efficiency, reducing costs, and guaranting quality

Food and Beverage manufacturers face several arising challenges, including increasing energy and material costs, high supplier dependability, and increasing regulation. With raw materials accounting for over 50% of total costs, businesses must implement transformation projects in their production as to reduce operating costs and streamline key processes. To do so effectively, it is essential to adopt strategies based on tested methodologies, such as Lean and KAIZEN™, designed to respond to uncertainty and variability.

We aim to place organizations at the forefront of this transformation, providing consulting and training services that empower the food and beverage industry to increase productivity, maximize financial returns, and improve quality. Leveraging industry expertise, innovative solutions, and tailored strategies, we help clients overperform across the entire food supply chain.

Want to improve efficiency and quality
in Food & Beverage Operations?

How we can help

Improve operational efficiency

Enhancing efficiency with lean solutions like structured problem-solving for equipment failures, planned, predictive, and autonomous maintenance (TPM), and SMED to reduce changeover time.

Increase material yield

Improve process control with Lean Six Sigma, eliminate machine inefficiencies, reengineer products to reduce waste, and reintroduce by-products.

Increase resource productivity

Improve resource productivity with line design, develop training plans for standard compliance, implement synchronized logistics loops between production and logistics, and optimize warehouse design.

Simplify the food & beverage supply chain

Refine stock management policies, implement planning algorithms based on historical data, and reduce supplier dependence to minimize sourcing variability.

Develop sustainable operations

Leverage data analytics for a zero-carbon roadmap, measure energy consumption in real-time, conduct cost-benefit analyses to identify critical equipment in energy performance, and decrease material consumption.

Harness the power of data

Go Digital by combining the toolboxes of automation and digital information to transform your operations and differentiate your offer.
