Natures Way adopts operations management systemA new manufacturing operations management (MOM) system is being deployed at a firm''s UK plants.

Natures Way Foods is implementing the CDC Factory system at facilities in Runcton and Selsey in order to provide a real-time reporting structure and metrics to increase plant performance.

As part of improving its manufacturing processes, the company will use the operations management solution from CDC Software, having already implemented its Ross ERP product.

Providing easy to understand and relevant production information, the system allows factory workers to make adjustments and measure improvements in order to deliver efficiencies.

Natures Way Foods head of operations Richard Parr commented: "Our continued growth demands required us to unlock greater capacity from our existing equipment and people."

The fresh produce manufacturing company is based in Chichester and prepares a range of fruit items and bagged salads for sale to retail and food service businesses across the country.

Professionals interested in taking a CPIM exam may be interested in an increase in the UK''s index of manufacturing of 1.4 per cent during February 2010, according to data from the Office for National Statistics.ADNFCR-3058-ID-19731641-ADNFCR
