Case study: Mid South Baking Company translates quality intelligence with InfinityQS into bottom line results
Using InfinityQS' quality management solution, the baked goods supplier has accelerated issue response time, streamlined its processes, reduced giveaway, and enhanced food safety compliance
InfinityQS International, Inc. (InfinityQS) has announced that Mid South Baking Company is leveraging its Quality Intelligence solution as part of an initiative to modernize the process improvement capabilities within its Pelahatchie, Mississippi plant, which produces baked goods for major global food brands. Mid South Baking now uses digital data collection and real-time process control to accelerate issue response times, streamline its manufacturing processes, and reduce giveaway—all of which directly improve its bottom line.
Previously, Mid South Baking used paper, pencils, and spreadsheets to collect and monitor process data, which made real-time response to issues on production lines challenging. Looking to gain greater control over its processes, the company turned to InfinityQS and its Quality Intelligence solutions anchored by the industry's leading statistical process control (SPC) engine. Starting with bun weight control, the primary initiative helped reduce the amount of giveaway per every batch of buns by 10 percent, which in turn minimized lost revenue—within just 12 months of implementation.
