To transport ingredients and products across their supply and distribution chain, the company uses wheeled metal cage trolleys that travel from location to location. But these trolleys were not being capitalised as a company asset, and Kibun teams noticed that too many of these cage trolleys were being lost. Worse, the missing trolleys were generating both costs and delays. When workers didn’t have enough trolleys, new ones had to be purchased; and in some locations insufficient trolleys were causing delays in shipping. This is a problem in any business, but in fresh food, shipping delays are particularly problematic.
