Issues
A UK market leader in ready-to-eat fresh fruit products, fresh fruit patisserie and drinks for leading UK retailers. A key value for the business is Continuous Improvement – Continually challenging all areas of the business to improve quality, increase value and deliver business improvement. Success in business is linked to a willingness to think outside the box - and outside the business - and knowing Hansaya’s reputation for business improvement, a study of all operational areas was commissioned. The principal conclusions of the study were that that there was potential to reduce direct labour costs through improved production and preparation scheduling linked to line balancing, improvements to operating practices and labour control.
