Case Study
Revolutionizing Production in a $15 Billion Meat Company: A Journey of Cultural Shift and Continuous Improvement
Step into the groundbreaking project we led for the US production division of a $15 billion meat company. Our comprehensive gap analysis covered over 40 facilities and senior leadership teams, with a focus on initiating a culture shift towards learning and continuous improvement. This transformational journey was not just about enhancing processes but also about unifying various entities acquired through mergers and acquisitions under a common operational "language."
Key milestones in this transformative journey included:
- Developing a Home-Grown Production Tracking System: Crafted with a Management Operating System (MOS) in mind, this system was a cornerstone in aligning the company's diverse operations.
- Training on a Massive Scale: Led a team of continuous improvement (CI) experts to educate tens of thousands of employees on MOS, CI methodologies, PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act), and root cause problem-solving tools.
- Implementing MOS Across 40+ Facilities: Successfully launched the MOS, enabling data-driven insights and employee input to identify, document, assign accountability, and celebrate improvement opportunities.
- Significant Cost Savings: Achieved over $8 million in recurring savings over two years, a testament to the effectiveness of these strategic initiatives.
- Replicating Success in Feed Mills: Applied the same process in 15 Feed Mills, realizing an additional $5 million in annual savings the following year.
This case study exemplifies our expertise in driving significant organizational change, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and achieving substantial cost savings in a major corporation.
