SGS Maine Pointe lifts throughput 275% with Maine Pointe

The customer, a supplier of food ingredients, was struggling with low throughput and high costs at its production facilities, lacking the data visibility needed to identify root causes and take effective action. They engaged Maine Pointe for its expertise in strategic sourcing and supply chain management to address these challenges.

Maine Pointe implemented a comprehensive solution that included optimizing staffing and equipment use, upskilling the procurement department, improving demand planning, and initiating a sales, inventory, and operations planning (SIOP) process.
