Overview
Every dairy processing plant executive knows -- and winces at -- terms like "shrinkage," "waste" and "surcharge." They all mean the same thing: loss of bottom-line profit.
How can you:
- Reduce milk loss by 5-30 percent?
- Measure energy consumption and reduce usage by 3-15 percent?
- Eliminate waste water surcharges?
- Transform your operations to enable & sustain improvements?
Join us for this live on-line seminar on measuring and managing shrinkage. Presented by Rudy Westervelt, 30-year executive with The Kroger Company, including 10 years managing dairy operations, and Pat McGuff, executive vice president of Masterleo & Associates, a 30+ year compliance and quality assurance partner for food and dairy processors. These experienced dairy executives will share their knowledge and experience on how you can leverage production information to transform your operation and your bottom line.
Don't miss this fast-track opportunity to explore improved performance possibilities.
