The Vancouver-based company was looking to improve productivity and allow operators to be more efficient. RC Pet Products turned to BlueCherry SFC to implement a system that will empower its employees to operate efficiently and consistently at the speeds required to reduce costs, especially added operators in the height of its busy season. Through the use of BlueCherry SFC, employees will be armed with up-to-the-minute production information, allowing supervisors and managers to make more timely and better-informed decisions that will enhance the performance and profitability of RC Pet Products’ operation. With extensive expertise and resources in the consumer products market, CGS has experience in optimizing production and through BlueCherry SFC will help support the company’s goal to improve productivity.
“As we expand our in-house manufacturing, we were looking to more precisely track operations in an effort to accurately price our products and improve productivity,” said John McGrath, operations manager, RC Pet Products. “BlueCherry Shop Floor Control will allow us to do more with less. This system will help us to automate the process, using our resources more productively and efficiently.”
