Smallgoods Client – Western Sydney, NSW.

Previously managed internally, our client’s vision was to realise efficiencies for their site, by the introduction of specialist cleaning and equipment systems.

BioGiene completed a full and thorough audit of the facility, and identified several opportunities to increase efficiency.

One of the key issues at this site was poor and inconsistent water delivery to support cleaning operations. BioGiene designed and proposed a specialised cleaning system to work around this water issue.

Chemical Management

Through both process and technology, BioGiene significantly reduced the volume of chlorinated foam cleaning agent used per day, offering significant bottom line improvement for our client.

The reductions in chemical consumption were substantial, and demonstrate the value in partnering with a specialised supplier who both understands, and has the capacity to manage the delivery of innovative cleaning programs to the food industry.

The reduced consumption of the primary product during our initial contract was approximately 42%.
Factored on core product only, at estimated $1.60/L @ 474L/day
= $197K p.a savings.

Health, Safety and Labour Improvements

As part of our initial site audit, we identified that the daily cleaning labour contingent used over 920 work-hours per day.

Based on our experience, BioGiene developed and proposed a model to achieve labour deployment on the site that would be less than 575 cleaning hours per day, reducing stress on their staff.

The initial transition saw BioGiene “on-board” all existing staff, at cost, with a clear mandate to find the efficiencies required and achieve the proposed model. BioGiene achieved the model within the first 12 months, through proper management, modified staff deployment, and specialised cleaning training.

Equipment Improvements

BioGiene are experts in cleaning food processing facilities. A key component of our expertise is understanding efficient deployment of resources.

This further translates to the design and deployment of specialised cleaning equipment to support the most efficient labour models for cleaning of food processing sites.

At commencement of the cleaning arrangement with our client, the site did not have a sufficient cleaning system in place. The resulting issues were impacting the cleaning labour, as well as the capacity for the site to prepare for production shifts. Cleaning operations were interrupted due to insufficient water availability through the night shift, when thawing tanks were being filled, coupled with low local supply pressure due to local government owned infrastructure.

BioGiene designed, financed, and installed a specialised Open Plant Cleaning System (OPCS) for the site which has remedied the supply issues, as well as improved the WHS, Chemical, and Labour consumption jointly.
