WHAT IS THE VALUE
Agri-food processing business create value many difference ways. Typically, the most significant place of value creation is the processing line. Using short instructional videos and real-life examples, processor productivity will guide you through a five-step process to identify and reduce waste as well as non-value-added activities on your processing line. Each module provides you with the tools and approaches to improve the profitability of your processing line.
The VALUE module will help you understand the benefit of a Gemba Walk. It asks you to take a fresh look at the activities currently on your processing line. What are these activities? Who and how many people do the work? What equipment is used? What materials and inputs are required? Is there lost time or waste occurring on the processing line?
“Taking part in the productivity project really helped us understand the opportunities that were right in front of us. When we put our operations team in a position to take a step back from the day to day and look at the flow of product and the decision making that goes with it, it really helped show all of us the opportunities for savings within the production environment.”
