Filling time

Does your production line fill containers? Do you produce any kind of weighed product? The smallest efficiency improvements can translate into major savings. Filling-line efficiencies are very important. There's a lot of capital equipment on them, and the more product that you put through the lines, the greater your revenues and the lower your average costs. A lean manufacturing and continuous improvement programme has been under way, intent on driving down inefficiencies and boosting output levels, aiming for sustainable improvements, not 'flavour of the month' quick wins that don't last.
