Operational Excellence - Synlait Milk, Ltd.
Synlait Milk, an innovative dairy manufacturer based in New Zealand, opened its consumer packaging facility in 2014 to produce infant formula as a retail-ready product. Following a deployment of Infor M3 and Infor ION to support this facility, the company also expanded its supply chain to add significant new capabilities. This included the ability to simplify tracing information with third party transport and packaging suppliers as well as improved visibility to customers for each step of the consumer packaging process. The facility is capable of producing 120 cans per minute. Consistently achieving this output is strongly supported by Infor products and plans are underway to further leverage Infor M3 and Infor ION in the facility.
