Operational Impact
Since implementing InfinityQS ProFicient, Ben & Jerry’s has used Manufacturing Intelligence to identify instances to improve run capability and raw material usage. | |
Because high-quality ingredients are typically high priced (up to $800 for a single barrel of swirl), the ability to fine tune processes with more precise specification limits results in less raw material variation, increased cost savings, and a higher quality product for the consumer. | |
With ProFicient’s advanced reporting suite, the ice cream manufacturer is saving a significant amount of time by eliminating manual calculations and time-consuming report creation. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Reports now run in seconds as opposed to the eight to 10 hours that quality assurance personnel previously spent calculating data. | |
