Cocoa processing factory


Chocolate factory
Integrated cocoa & chocolate factory
+ Expansion of new lines in the last 2 years
7
Advantages of our factory footprint
X Focused factories allow us to produce a wide range
of products with limited complexity

Cocoa:
X Origin factories focussed on access to the beans with
limited product range
X Cocoa sites in consuming countries focussed on
blending of different origins and service to the
customers
X Integratedd sites ffocussed
d on the
h cocoa requirements for
f
the chocolate

Chocolate:
X Specialties (like white, nuts products etc.) are
centralized in a limited number of sites per region
X S
Standard
d d products
d are produced
d d close
l to the
h customers
and are used for capacity balancing

8
Advantages of our factory footprint

X By operating as a network we can make full use of the economies of


scale
X Not all processes are done in each site
X Lines can be dedicated to specific product types

X In a network it is easier to create back-up in case of problems


X Interchangeable products

X Flow and footprint optimizations


X Footprint studies are done to determine the optimal location for capacity
extensions
X Flow optimizations are implemented between regional & strategic planning

X Main Objectives
X Install a common process and way of working for the group
ƒ To improve the efficiency and the effectiveness
ƒ To improve transparency and interchangeability
ƒ To facility the rotation of people between sites and functions
X Create a pool of people that are ready to take over line functions
ƒ Get to know the (production) processes
ƒ Get to know the plants and the people
ƒ Experts in the continuous improvement methodomogy

X Implementation.
X Supported by an external specialist (on the job training)
X First focus on the plants:
ƒ Finalized 3 pilot sites (US, France and Japan)
ƒ Started with the wave 2 plants (Belgium, Malaysia & US)
X Next steps: Widen the scope to other processes and other functional areas

X Results achieved
X Yearly savings of about 4 mio Euro for the 3 pilot sites

• Systematic Root cause analysis • Mental switch towards
• Implement Group Best practices performance focus in a
• Clear ownership per process (steps) structured and systematic way SUSTAINABLE
RESULTS
• Install common KPI system and usage • More transparency and
• Install performance oriented management predictability in results
Financial
meetings
• Facilitate fact based decision making and • Moving from status quo/re- Operational
follow up activeness to pro-activeness Cultural
• Ensure common view on performance, top
down & bottom-up

• Increase cross functional way of working


• Boost management skills and leadership at
different levels and management

Summary of progress at American Canyon

One year ago… Today…

X No ‘real’ root cause analysis X RCAs are done several times per week

X We had bad meetings but didn’t know it X We know what a good meeting looks like

X Managed from lagging indicators X KPIs are looked at daily & challenged

X Production results not being challenged X A better understanding of OEE and its
components

X Maximizing production capacity


X Little visibility to hidden production losses
X Better control of the operation and faster
X New team with potential, but little
reaction to problems
