FEI Foods Ltd, part of the Marbour Group, is a market-leading FMCG company specialising in own-brand microwaveable rice and grain products. As the UK's leading private-label supplier, FEI Foods serves major retailers.

The Challenge

Demand exceeded site capacity, and operating margins were below target. A more efficient production model was needed to improve output and profitability.

Key Issues Identified

  • Lack of Structured Planning - Absence of clear scheduling cycles led to inefficiencies
  • Process Inefficiencies & Skills Gaps - Non-standardised processes and staff skill shortages
  • Low productivity and operational bottlenecks

Our Approach

Implemented technology, planning integration, process redesign, and workforce development to transform operations.

1

Technology & Planning Integration - Structured planning cycles and tools (daily, weekly, monthly)

2

Process Redesign - Streamlined and standardised workflows

3

Workforce Development - Shopfloor coaching, KPI tracking, and performance reviews
