Learn how GSF is using SwipeGuide to ensure consistency and product quality across their operations achieving -47% in meat forming time.
Knowledge capture and performance consistency.
In the food industry, quality is everything. The pursuit of quality, coupled with core values like innovation and customer service, prompted GSF to standardize their internal procedures and onboarding processes.
-> Accessible work instructions for use in real-time on the shop floor.
-> User friendly Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). Putting them in practice is as easy as swiping on your phone.
-> Addressing staffing issues with motivated and engaged employees.
-> Highly trained operators can easily transfer knowledge to others and articulate equipment problems to maintenance colleagues.
Empowering teams for continuous improvement
GSF needed a way to update and distribute procedures instantly. Digital SOPs allow them to drive productivity and train new team members with unparalleled ease.
Before
Updating paper procedures was slow, making it nearly impossible to distribute improvements across multiple sites quickly.
Now
A central digital platform allows for instant updates and capture of expert knowledge, driving continuous improvement at the frontline.
A 47% reduction in meat forming time proves the power of clear, digital work instructions at the frontline.
Consistent results for high-quality food
Standardized work instructions ensure the right information is delivered exactly when and where it's needed, leading to repeatable, high-quality results.
Before
Inconsistent manual processes led to variations in production speed and difficulty in maintaining quality across different shifts.
Now
Digitalized operations led to a 47% reduction in meat forming time while ensuring consistent product quality.
Having the ability to deliver standardized instructions throughout production sites means GSF can count on repeatable results.
