Case Study: Lavazza achieves $500,000 in annual savings with DVIRC Lean and Six Sigma training

Lavazza saves $488,000 a year with DVIRC

Lavazza, a global coffee roaster, sought to build a continuous improvement culture at its U.S. facility to engage employees and eliminate process waste. They retained the vendor DVIRC to provide Lean and Six Sigma training to empower their associates to identify and drive out inefficiencies.

DVIRC implemented an applied learning program, starting with Lean Principles training for 90 associates and progressing to project-based certification programs. This cross-functional training led to significant measurable impacts, including a project that reduced scrap by 0.8% for $138,000 in annual savings and another that optimized distribution, saving $350,000 in transportation costs. In total, DVIRC's solution generated $500,000 in annual savings for Lavazza.
