Agribusiness Productivity
Streamlining your Agribusiness for
Increased Profitability
In the face of rising input costs, agribusinesses must focus on what they can control. Agribusinesses are in control of what markets they target, enterprise and genetic selection, production techniques, harvest and manufacturing system design, data utilisation, workforce design, sourcing, training and management. How efficiently agribusinesses utilise their human, natural and capital resources will determine their productivity, profitability and viability.
Looking at an agribusiness through a lean lens enables management to identify where, the eight lean wastes of inventory, space, waiting, over-production, defects, excessive motion, over-processing, under-utilised creativity and transport occur in their systems and processes. Process metrics enable businesses to quantify waste and opportunities for improvement.
At PSVC we teach our clients to look at their agribusiness through a lean lens, to see the waste, to apply lean tools and techniques to remove the waste, improve productivity and ultimately their profitability.
How we work
Discovery
Conduct proprietary diagnostics across primary production, harvest, manufacturing, and category management. Analyse performance and profitability data to quantify the current and potential improvements in your production system, and identify root causes of inefficiencies.
Planning
Conduct a process walk with your team to assess the agribusiness value chain, validate root causes of inefficiencies, prioritise improvement areas, and design actionable projects that align with your current resources and capabilities.
Implement
Set a continuous improvement rhythm suited to your agribusiness’s seasonality, customise a productivity framework, form implementation teams, introduce lean and PSVC tools, guide the teams, address implementation barriers, and measure the impact of improvements.
Embed
Collaborate to refine productivity metrics and reporting, fine-tune the improvement framework, coach the team in using analytics and tools, and provide ongoing support to sustain continuous improvement.
Enhance Systems and Processes
Improve your internal systems and processes and start transforming your agribusiness into a more efficient, productive and profitable operation.
