Moy Park | Overview

Why did Moy Park introduce C I?

• Customer Focussed Business – Ability to react to the needs of our customers – quickly and efficiently.

• Competition stronger and more intense combined with marketplace pressures – CI helps us to focus and understand waste in process.

• Capital is harder to come by – we must sweat our assets harder than ever before.

• We needed a point of difference to win and retain business

• Opportunity to engage the workforce and harness intellectual horsepower.
