Does your business involve factory floor processes that appear to be difficult to control?

In today’s climate, improving factory floor profitability can be very difficult, especially in fast moving manufacturing environments. Soaring raw material costs and ever-growing pressures from major retailers mean that suppliers must be ultra-efficient to survive.

Challenges facing producers in these sectors include maintaining accurate recipe control, reducing waste and giveaway, dealing with the vagaries of unaccountable losses generated by their ERP system, ensuring accurate labelling and removing the risks of brand damage associated with EPWs and RTMs.

You are invited to join our ‘improving factory profitability’ group to keep abreast of tips and advice on improving your bottom line efficiently and effectively. « less
