A manufacturer needed to relocate internationally, move its lines to an existing facility without interrupting operations, and consolidate and optimize the relocated lines to lower costs. To ensure a smooth relocation process, a conceptual plan detailed the groundwork for the international move. Engineering work, assessments on equipment, and consolidating assets from multiple packaging lines was completed to incorporate the former lines into the existing facility. Vendor management helped to resolve ingredient delivery issues, facilitate a near vertical startup, improve efficiencies in the new line, and reduce startup time by approximately 25% resulting in a successful relocation process.
