Case Study: Multiplant Foods Company achieves $3.4 million in savings and standardizes real-time analytics with Hertzler Systems Inc.

Multiplant Foods Company Standardizes Real-time Analytics, Sees Significant Savings

Multiplant Foods Company faced outdated, inconsistent quality systems—some plants used home‑grown statistical process control for package weights while others relied on paper—leaving corporate quality manager Thomas with data that was days old. That "rear‑view mirror" visibility caused product holds, costly sorting and repackaging, overweight packages (product giveaway), missed delivery dates and damaged customer trust, so the company turned to Hertzler Systems Inc and its Manufacturing Intelligence Platform for a real‑time solution.

Hertzler Systems Inc deployed a cost‑effective, plant‑adaptable real‑time weight‑control solution using the company’s new mobile devices to standardize analytics and deliver timely insights. The solution reduced holds and rework, significantly cut product giveaway, and produced measurable savings—$225,000 in nine months at one facility and approximately $3.4 million across all implemented plants—while giving Thomas the accurate, actionable data his team needed.
