How to Find Hidden Risks in Your Food and Beverage Manufacturing Facility That Can Lead to Recalls or Supply Chain Disruptions (CHECKLIST INCLUDED)

Facility and operations leaders at food and beverage manufacturers sometimes tell us that everything is going great. “Everything seems to be running just fine with our in-house team or facility management provider. There are no complaints.”

No complaints do not mean everything is OK.

In fact, we learned that when we work with companies like Pepsi, General Mills, Shamrock Foods, Whole Foods, and others, once there is noise, it’s too late.

The following issues are more than likely already occurring:

• Recalls may have already killed your profitability.
• FDA fines and shutdown warnings may have already been issued.
• Warehouse and distribution center productivity dropped.
• On-time, in-full performance for customer satisfaction is already at risk.
• Costs are rising, and margins are being reduced.

This is why we put together the checklist below to help you identify if your facilities are putting your supply chain operations and finances at risk.

How OpenWorks Can Help Fix the State of Your Facilities

We do not take risks with your supply chain operations. You need a compliant, safe and efficient environment so your supply chain operations can run smoothly. If it doesn’t, the outcome can be catastrophic.

Your supply chain facilities, including warehouses, distribution centers, and vital forward-stocking locations, require a specialized approach to facilities services. This is because the industry has nuances, needs, compliance regulations, and recall risks.

OpenWorks is experienced with supply chain facilities and knows what’s at stake when all tasks are not completed correctly. We remove operational risks for food and beverage manufacturers by using best practices within the industry while tailoring our work to the needs of each of your buildings.  

A one-size-fits-all approach to facilities is dangerous.

In addition, we intentionally focus on an integrated set of services to improve efficiency with one trusted provider. OpenWorks delivers a variety of reliable, personalized services to meet the needs of each of your sites.

•  Local OpenWorks teams work around schedules to avoid downtime or disruptions to an operation.
• Trained service providers understand the regulatory and compliance requirements at the state, regional and national levels as well as from third-party certification organizations like the Global Food Safety Initiative.
• Centralized service management and oversight means one point-of-contact, streamlined operations, and one source for facility data.
