Case Study: a dairy foods manufacturer achieves $1.5 million in improved yield with Advantive ProFicient

Dairy Producer Dips Into Centralized Data and Scoops Up $1.5 Million in Improved Yield

A dairy foods manufacturer faced a significant challenge in gaining operational visibility after acquiring multiple plants, each using different legacy systems like Excel and paper logs for quality data. This lack of centralized data and reporting made it impossible for executives to compare performance across facilities. They turned to Advantive for a solution using its ProFicient platform to standardize their quality control.

Advantive implemented ProFicient, which provided real-time statistical process control and centralized reporting. A pilot project included a bar-coding solution to eliminate manual data entry errors. This implementation saved a single plant 1,000 hours annually in reporting time and delivered $1.5 million in savings from improved yield, proving the value of a standardized system.
