FMCG & Pharmaceutical
Fast Moving Consumer Goods are characterised by high volume, highly automated factories, limited shelf life products and tight demands for hygiene and compliance.
As process industries FMCG and Pharmaceutical manufacturers often strive to reduce batch sizes, reduce set up times and maximise productivity and overall equipment effectiveness. Increasingly supply chains for FMCG are global and highly complex and opportunities exist to simplify supply chains, reduce cost and working capital.
Shop floor lean execution in large FMCG and Pharma operations also have to integrate with advanced Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Warehouse Management (WMS) systems.
TXM has significant experience in FMCG and Pharmaceutical. We have enabled customers to increase line outputs by up to 50% and reduce product waste by 75% in environments as diverse as tablet manufacture, fruit juice, paint, firearms ammunition, fresh vegetable process and baking.
We have also helped customers design complex global and regional lean supply chains that have reduced lead times and working capital by up to 50%.
Our practical 5S approach and SPED ™ system for Structured Problem Solving also complements the GMP and compliance efforts of our clients and leads to a clean, clear visual workplace producing consistent high quality products.
Our detailed knowledge of packaging and chemicals processes is also often of benefit to our FMCG and Pharma customers.
