Materials savings from improved variance controls and waste reduction
A leading UK-based food manufacturer, supplying premium products to a major retailer, faced increasing inflationary pressures on materials, labour, and distribution costs.
The Challenge
The goal was not to fix something broken but to unlock the full potential of the site team and business processes to counteract rising costs and ensure long-term efficiency.
Key Issues Identified
- Gaps in Performance Management - Management control and reporting lacked structure and visibility
- Inefficiencies in Labour & Material Planning - Variances adding avoidable costs to operations
- Increasing inflationary pressures on materials, labour, and distribution costs

Enhanced Management Control & Reporting Systems with daily performance reviews (SICs)

Material Waste Reduction & Process Optimisation
"This project wasn't just about savings—it was about empowering the team for lasting improvements. Stronger performance management, labour efficiency, and material control have set the foundation for continued success."
