Presentation Overview:
Food and Beverage manufacturers are under pressure to increase processing efficiency while meeting consumer demands for greater product diversity. Adjusting to shorter runs and broader product selections makes streamlining changeovers an important issue. In a recent survey of Food Manufacturing readers, 50% noted changeover and purchasing equipment with better changeover options as an issue of concern in their plants, while 28% rated changeover as their plants' biggest concern, and 42% reported that their average product line changeover times were more than one hour.

Gain Valuable Insights. Maintaining schedules, minimizing downtime, verifying that procedures are executed completely and in the proper sequence - a lot can go wrong. That's why EnteGreat has developed its Changeover Excellence solution, based on proven workflow technology, to directly address changeover efficiency, risk management, and continuous improvement.
