Companies can also implement strategic plant-wide changes to optimize productivity and boost their sustainability efforts.
To that end, Tetra Pak has introduced Plant Secure, a total plant management service designed specifically for the food and beverage sector. Plant Secure could enable manufacturers to adopt a structured and systematic business-wide approach to identify areas of improvement and create targeted plans to boost performance and deliver savings across their operations.
