| SHEPHERD NEAME IS TOP IN PROCESS EXCELLENCE AWARDS
| |
More efficient ways of working at Shepherd Neame have been recognised with an award for 'Best Improvement Project (under 90 days)' at this year's Process Excellence Awards.
The award was given for the brewery's inventory reduction project in wines and spirits, which halved the inventory and also increased product availability. The project served as a trial in the roll-out of other improvement schemes across the business.
Shepherd Neame fought off fierce competition from large organisations such as BAA, Scottish Widows and ScottishPower to scoop the business accolade.
The Process Excellence Awards are now in their eleventh year and are judged by a panel of leading process improvement companies and executives from across Europe.
Shepherd Neame chief executive Jonathan Neame said: "This is worthy recognition of the hard work and effort of the production and distribution team, and testimony of the improvements made across the company since SAP computer software was introduced in July 2008. Congratulations to all."
