Focus:

This session is designed to help food businesses see where time, effort, and margin are being lost, and to identify practical ways to improve, using Lean thinking and fit-for-purpose digital support.

Key Themes

• Productivity in low-margin, high-pressure food environments
• Making improvement without disrupting production
• Using digitalto support Lean, not add admin

We will explore:

• How waste shows up in food businesses, both on the floor and in the office
• Practical ways to spot inefficiencies in production, changeovers, quality, and admin
• Lean tools that are proven to work in food environments, applied in a simple, pragmatic way
• Where digital can genuinely reduce workload, improve visibility, and support better decision-making
• How to avoid over-engineered systems and focus on improving processes first

Examples and discussion are drawn from real food businesses, with an emphasis on what works in practice, not theory.

What Participants Leave With

• A clear view of where the biggest productivity opportunities exist in their own business
• A small number of realistic, quick-win improvements they can act on immediately
• Clarity on what should be digitised, what should stay manual, and why
