Wincanton for Kraft Heinz - The Warehouse Initiative Award
In 2020 Wincanton and the Kraft Heinz Company embarked on a radical project to introduce a methods-time measurement system (MTM), a recognised world class methodology for standard times in manual operations, into their growing repack operations.
Together, Kraft Heinz and Wincanton collaborated to successfully implement a change programme with the shop floor teams. This was required as the ways of working, the department layout and working methods had to be changed to support the MTM methodologies. Despite the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic the programme hit all its milestones and 100% of the target on plan.
