After providing the overall capacity plan for a manufacturing facility for a global beverage company looking to develop, sell and distribute a portfolio of best-in-class cannabis beverage products, First Key was asked to lead the operations on an interim basis. This included overcoming various issues in supply-chain, production and materials planning, improving equipment reliability (moving from break/fix to prevention), working with all stakeholders to overcome operational obstacles, effectively executing several initiatives (product launches, equipment installations/commissioning), mentoring staff, daily problem solving, improving process efficiencies and product consistency. First Key advised on the day-to-day operational organization structure, addressed issues and transition through changes in operational procedures, and successfully produced their products efficiently and reliably.
