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.
