8. Lean / Six Sigma Bob Ostryniec introduces Six Sigma into the Heinz culture in 2005. Implements program to train all employees at yellow or green belt levels. Used Lean Sigma to implement a new production process. Instead of status quo measures at the end of the day, they monitor the lines every hour or two and make adjustments accordingly. Efficiencies are monitored in real-time through HOTS (Heinz Operational Tracking Systems). Results are posted at the end of the day to inform workers of how they are performing. Heinz seeks to combine their most successful tools and processes into one production process called (HGPS) Heinz Global Performance System (2009)

9. Improving Packaging Reuse Reuse packaging components where possible throughout the supply chain to minimize material waste and its associated carbon footprint (e.g., reusable totes, pallets, slip sheets). Reduce Optimize designs to minimize use of packaging materials while ensuring product protection throughout the supply chain and proper performance for our consumers (e.g., eliminate components, light-weighting). Recycle Utilize recyclable materials where possible. Incorporate post-consumer recycled content where feasible. Renew Evaluate and utilize packaging materials derived from renewable sources where feasible to reduce carbon footprint.

10. Select Packaging Reductions New Zealand Heinz-Wattie’s began studies on the effect of lighter cans through the manufacturing process and supply chain. Reduced highest volume can gauge from.23mm to.16mm. Cutting both cost and waste. Of the 270 million cans produced in Fiscal Year 2010, 240 million were down-gauged, representing nearly 90% of all canned production. By down-gauging 240 million cans, Heinz saved more than 1,000 tons of tin plate from being produced for our use.
