Reducing Operational Costs for Growers
Gippsland growers across a range of industries have the opportunity to access a business transformation program that can help reduce operating costs by up to 20%.
Agribusiness Transformation Coach -Toby Cook
Food & Fibre Gippsland Strategic Industry Partner Member, Lean 6 Sigma Solutions has been working with growers and agribusinesses of all sizes across Victoria for a number of years, with a proven program that is solutions driven, measurable and outcomes focused.
Co-Owner and Agribusiness Transformation Coach Toby Cook, says the success of the program is in its hands on, with face to face engagement in the growing or production environment. Toby connects with people across all aspects of the business to be able to fully explore opportunities and ideas.
Over a 12-month period, there is a step-by-step process with minimal disruption to the workforce, where everything is delivered on site. Training and implementation support is customised to the individual area and strategically delivered by Toby to maximise engagement.
“Businesses can get so busy with the day-to-day operations, that often the best ideas don’t get enough attention to bring them to life – we are there to support teams to implement changes that mean real bottom line results are achieved”.
“Our onsite training taps into process knowledge at all levels of the business and creates systems that encourage team participation in the development of workable solutions that ultimately impact operational costs, drive profits and value add” he said.
The Lean Six Sigma Solutions program has helped a diverse range of industries including:
dairy
vineyards
egg farming
seed potato growing
fruit growers
fresh cut flowers
plant nurseries
horticulture
Its application is completely adaptable to many business types and sizes.
“We’ve helped a large-scale horticulture operation increase a particular crop yield by 10% and save $200,000 through improved soil structure and tillage reduction; we’ve saved a vineyard $150,000 on bottling costs – these are proven strategies, we work with the business to implement them for maximum impact” said Toby.
Ideal candidates for this opportunity are;
growers and businesses who are keen to bring more innovation into their business
growers and businesses who are open minded and actively encourage ideas from everyone in their team
If you’re looking for a competitive advantage and a new way to develop skills in your business, there is the potential for this valuable training and business development activity to be largely funded by the Victorian Government’s training guarantee.
