The Challenge
Client: Ethic Food Manufacturer
Objective: Find a solution to sustain short-term and long-term demand with their existing facility configuration.
An ethnic foods manufacturer wanted to expand their operations and needed to determine if the new process would fit in its current facility.
- Historically, the manufacturer had a business mix of 60% Meat vs. 40 % Bakery, Sauces, & Humas.
- More recently, the mix changed, with Bakeries and Sauces & Humas becoming the dominant businesses.
- The client was experiencing unprecedented growth.
- Would they be able to meet short-term and long-term demand with their existing facility as it was configured?
- What changes would need to be made to leverage current success and ensure their long-term prosperity?
Our Solution
After defining the future expansion requirements, engineers measured all existing capital equipment and created a 3D plant layout using the 2D architectural drawings.
Sterling created several future state configurations of the process, and after reviewing the options with the executive team, the client decided to lease a new building for the additional process.
