The transformation process had been underway for three years with the purchase and implementation of ten ”state of the art” filling lines.
Gradually, as the new fully-automatic filling lines were installed, a growing problem was observed. The efficiency of the line was falling in relation to previous mechanical lines. Therefore, senior and development managements decided to undertake a verification of the whole system to understand the challenges facing them. It turned out that there was also a great need to transform the employees’ way of thinking and habits, logistical processes and organisation on all of the lines respectively in order for the project to be fully efficient and to be able to recover lost repayment time.
The project process was split into three phases. Proof of Concept, Proof of Business and Proof of Scale. Training systems, training and organisational adjustments were implemented from dairy manager down to operator. 116 employees in all.

Our client is a large international concern within the foodstuffs sector who deliver dairy products. A few years previously, the business had taken an important strategic decision to undertake its greatest transformation on a Swedish dairy. The motivation was to increase its geographic presence and competitiveness within the Nordic countries. But it was also to comply with a fast growing development in technology from mechanical to automatic filling lines.
