Fonterra Canpac has implemented Pavilion's PPM solution to proactively drive performance to business targets, identify and minimise downtime and reduce waste throughout the packing process.
Fonterra Canpac, a manufacturer of product packaging and a packing operation, has implemented Pavilion's production performance management (PPM) solution to proactively drive performance to business targets, identify and minimise downtime and reduce waste throughout the packing process.
Fonterra Canpac selected Pavilion8 for production monitoring on 32 lines over six departments.
This project represents the first deployment of Pavilion's Production Performance Management solution for a fast moving consumer goods manufacturer.
Using the information made available through Pavilion8, Fonterra Canpac expects to reduce wastage and significantly increase productivity.
Bottom line benefits resulting from this project are expected to be better than the criteria set when internally justifying the project.
"In the competitive dairy packing market, high quality and consistency of product is a critical factor for success and Pavilion's production performance management solution gives us an edge by providing complete visibility into all of our production processes to eliminate inefficiencies", said Paul Hogben, Maintenance Services Manager, Fonterra Canpac.
"After a thorough review of the leading performance management solutions, Pavilion was selected as the technology that had broad integration capabilities, excellent support, and met the company's strategic requirements".
Pavilion's production performance management solution enables manufacturers to align production processes with business targets to enhance their profitability.
Leveraging the Pavilion8 software platform, the PPM application allows Fonterra Canpac line operators and management to view personalised key performance indicators (KPIs) from a common information repository providing a single system of record for all performance metrics.
Data are captured from a variety of real-time and transactional data sources and automatically validated, aggregated, calculated and contextually stored.
Fonterra Canpac runs performance metrics for line uptime, operational effectiveness and efficiency, waste, downtime and quality assurance are visualised by a user's job function.
In addition, Pavilion's PPM solution uses model-based calculations to compare current performance against historic and predicted measures.
"Fonterra Canpac's deployment validates the value of Pavilion's production performance management solution for fast moving consumer goods manufacturers", said Matt Tormollen, Chief Marketing Officer, Pavilion Technologies.
"Our customers are gaining competitive advantage by proactively driving decision making through our model-predictive intelligence".
