Daily routines tend to prevent a brewer from taking the time to review the efficiency of plant operations. Reviews often reveal that individual business procedures, production processes or even whole departments run at sub-optimal or deficient levels.
An independent evaluation
An ALECTIA Brew audit is a thorough, yet time-compressed evaluation of cost and efficiency of any brewing operation. The audit gives you a clear overview of your operations so you can take quick action to remedy any inefficiencies instead of spending time and money solving problems as they arise.
ALECTIA Brew knows where to look for unexposed potential – and how to exploit it
Years of experience allows us to quickly reveal hidden potential or to look beyond the symptoms and find the source of any problem. Issues and problems can only be solved by addressing the root causes – and that is the service we deliver.
We can perform an audit in isolated areas of operation or along the whole supply chain – including distribution – and deliver our findings quickly.
ALECTIA Brew assumes a role as “traveller in projects” to observe procedures and equipment/processes used. We do interviews and monitor every aspect of the operation in focus to ensure you get an accurate picture – and we provide recommendations for improvement.
ALECTIA Brew identifies resources spent, capacity and costs, and is the only player that can actually measure product quality, so product quality is an integral part of all our considerations.
An ALECTIA Brew audit is a specialist-driven process. The typical approach looks like this:
Scope the area to be audited
Small team is chosen, with little client involvement at this level
Communication and findings kept inside team
Evaluation and data gathering period of 1 week to 1 month
Knowledge-driven generation of ideas
ALECTIA Brew consultants share their specialist knowledge when doing evaluations
ALECTIA Brew presents findings and recommendations for improvement
What ALECTIA Brew delivers during an Audit:
• Business process overview
• Identification of resources spent per process – product quality remains in focus
• A final report with recommendations
Many breweries find the need to initiate a performance improvement project following an audit.
