CDC Software Customer Earns Managing Automation's Progressive Manufacturing 50 Award Using CDC Factory
Private label manufacturer, Bay Valley Foods, was recognized for its
extraordinary business accomplishments through the use of CDC Software’s
CDC Factory. By deploying automation and information
technologies that generate competitive advantage for its business, Bay
Valley Foods was nominated as one of the 50 manufacturing companies who
have mastered operational excellence. Companies nominated for
operational excellence have mastered the ideas of continuous improvement
as advocated in such disciplines as Six Sigma and lean manufacturing.
They also achieve measurable excellence, not only in internal operations
but also in those processes that involve customers, partners, and
suppliers.
"We were ecstatic to be awarded such a
prestigious honor,” said George Jurkovich,
senior vice president of Operations, Bay Valley Foods. "Receiving
this award reinforces the principles of our mission of providing
continuous improvement as demonstrated by our manufacturing expertise,
innovative products, superior research and development, strong regional
brands, and state-of-the-art facilities and technology.”
After implementation of CDC Factory, Bay Valley already has reported
measuring 3 percent to 4 percent in factory efficiency improvements. The
company says it is on track to achieve a 5 percent to 10 percent
improvement in efficiency across the plant network in a year which is
expected to return $2.5 million to the bottom line.
"The success at Bay Valley Foods is a great
example of the improvements that can be achieved in the areas of plant
floor processes, understanding down-time issues and equipment failures,
and reducing overtime through the use of CDC Factory,”
said Mark Sutcliffe, General Manager, CDC Software’s
CDC Factory. "Bay Valley Foods greatly
deserves this award for everything they have achieved.”
The accomplishments of Managing Automation's Progressive Manufacturing 50 will be celebrated at an award ceremony in Las Vegas, June 10-12,
2008.
