This Food Manufacturing Excellence qualification offers a contexualised qualification for the food production environment using Lean Manufacturing techniques which have been used for many years but perhaps not to the fullest entent to maximise the full potential to create a continuos improvement culture within an organisation.

Change management is at the centre of this qualification where communication and working together as a team are crucial to the success of Food Manufacturing Excellence.

It is perhaps obvious that the aim of food production businesses have to try to minimise the fixed costs or change them to varible costs. In this way the costs vary when production either increases or decreases. As the fixed costs have to be met regardless of the production output.

The techniques we use in this qualification are trying to identify ways use Lean Manufacturing. This is a way of identifying ways to reduce costs within he production environment using recognised techniques that have been adapted from very successful use in the manufacturing of cars - particuarly Toyota cars.

The techniques, if used and applied correctly, are aimed at improving performance throughout a production environment. this could be from a production line, an individual machine or a full department.

Food production businesses are under continuous pressure to reduce costs all the time and increase profitability and adapting Food Manufacturing Excellence or Lean Manufacturing wholeheartily can deliver that additional extra profit.
