Optimisation consultancy, Middle East
The client:
A dairy manufacturer, based in the Middle East, producing liquid milk, milk and whey powders, hard pressed cheese, cream cheese processed cheese, mozzarella cheese and dairy based desserts.
The brief:
The production and packing output was low compared to the nameplate theoretical capacities and quality issues and costs were mounting. The plant was processing approximately 750,000 litres of milk per day and wishing to grow rapidly to over 1,000,000 litres per day. The client needed to streamline its operation to allow for this growth without disrupting daily production.
The solution:
Watson Dairy consulting undertook a full manufacturing review of this complex multi dairy products site to identify areas of improvement, change, investment and rationalisation. We reviewed the product range, packaging, processes, people, quality systems, utilities, maintenance, engineering facilities and prepared a report detailing recommendations to
optimise the plant operation and maximise output with improved quality to enable the plant to reach its goal of processing over 1,000,000 litres of milk per day.
