Aimia Foods Factory Tour ***2 places remaining due to late cancellation***

The plant mixes market leading innovation with manufacturing excellence. The site is eternally adding value delivering £4m growth to one customer by improving the client's original product design. Aimia has just created new easy open opercule cups for airlines that will make watching the cabin crew struggling to get the foil out your brew a thing of the past. The Haydock site is an exemplar of Six Sigma, using data to eliminate manufacturing waste and win business. However, it's the men and women at Haydock who really earned Aimia its Factory of the Year crown at this year's Best Factory Awards. An astute management team have fostered a target smashing shopfloor through the development of transparent daily objectives that pull towards a grander corporate strategy. The success has been powered by the adoption of Hoshin Kanri, which has banished non value adding activity and high performance work teams who are the engine room of improvement activity that has generated over 250,000 in savings. Find out what it takes to turn your factory into the best by signing up to the Aimia tour.
