An established leader in the US brewing industry, requested the expertise of First Key to assess and offer recommendations for their dual bottle and can packaging line, with the goal of increasing operational efficiency. Through pre-visit information gathering and regular on-site visits with the packaging operations team, First Key recommended short-term process fixes and technical adjustments for the existing outdated packer. This resulted in a 10% increase in packaging line efficiency. First Key also presented a set of longer-term recommendations that would increase efficiency by another 25% via investment in a new packer. First Key then continued to provide ongoing support to the brewery via quarterly on-site reviews to help progress the long-term action plan.
