The world’s largest tea manufacturer hired JIC for a turnkey OEM project worth over half a million dollars. Forty-five men were assigned to the project which entailed tearing out all of the old equipment originally from the 1960s and installing up-to-date and state-of-the-art equipment.
Prior to beginning the project, all employees were brought in for a full paid day of rigorous safety training and an extra review of safety procedures. Employees were told that if safety was not their number one priority they should go home. JIC sets safety first and safety training is at the top of the priority list to protect both clients and employees.
In order for the current machines to effectively complete the process, over 100,000 pounds of tea was to remain in the hoppers at any given time. But a problem arose - dust was being collected in the machines causing the tea to become contaminated. The ineffective procedure was causing the company to waste money and raw material. The new machines, on the other hand, supplied the tea on-demand which enhanced the process by eliminating dust contamination and reducing the amount of wasted material, time and money.
JIC is accustomed to working on a tight time line schedule – everyday a manufacturing plant is down, they lose money. Despite unforeseen modifications, critical milestones were met efficiently. JIC maintained ahead of schedule by 1-2 days and completed the project approximately 1.5 days ahead of schedule.
