Westminster, CO -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/28/2014 -- Berner Food & Beverage, Inc. is best known as a private label supplier of quality food and beverage products to a majority of the top retail chains across all trade channels. TraceGains’ guest blogger explored how the lean state at Berner Foods addressed SQF requirements for documentation. Although the company roots were in producing Swiss cheese nearly seventy year ago, the company’s state of the art facility (USDA approved, SQF2000 Level 3, HACCP certified) produces a complete line of dips, cheese sauces, and best-selling beverage items.
Troy Grove, Chief Information Officer at Berner Food & Beverage, Inc. was cited in the blog, “Berner had a lean initiative team about ten years ago. The concept has been ingrained into the culture so now we utilize continuous improvement methods such as Kaizen events. We have a person dedicated to continuous improvement and he brings together associates for various projects. Lean is a consistent focus.”
