Abstract :
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.
