Hixson Webinar Offers Strategies for Success to Food & Beverage Processors when building or renovating their plants. A recent webinar entitled “Food Plant of the Future: Using Design to Increase Productivity and Drive Down Unit Costs,” and co-sponsored by Hixson Architecture & Engineering and various BNP Media publications such as Food Engineering magazine, addressed the idea of pursuing perfection and how food and beverage plants can optimize their opportunities for improvement. According to co-presenter Bill Sander, Hixson Senior Vice President and Project Manager, the concept of continuously pursuing perfection is something that we are all striving to attain. “Today’s food and beverage companies are facing many challenges,” said Sander. To overcome those challenges and prepare for the future, Sander, along with co-presenter Chris Harmon, Hixson Senior Vice President and Project Manager, said that, among other things, implementing the Lean and asset alignment concepts helps Food Plants of the Future: • Optimize operations to drive waste out of the supply chain and increase productivity. • Access and employ real-time data using integrated information systems to provide meaningful data whenever and wherever it is needed. • Foster learning and innovation through activities such as self-directed continuous improvement capabilities. • Create quality employee facilities to attract and retain the talent required to effectively utilize the technology available. • Locate operations where they can attract a quality workforce and optimize the supply chain.
