August Featured Success Story



A great success story coming from the WEDnetPA partner - Millersville University, The Corporate University, featuring participating company: Turkey Hill Dairy. 

At Turkey Hill Dairy we are committed to producing quality wholesome products for our customers, and that means we don’t compromise on quality – ever – even in the current economy, even with dramatic cost increases in raw materials and fuel. Our challenge is to deliver on our commitment while managing uncontrollable costs with the right balance of investment in people, processes, and equipment.
                                 
Turkey Hill Dairy is on a mission to eliminate non-value added activities and waste.  Specifically, we are preparing our associates to better utilize technology and apply the Principles of Lean to our operations. By looking internally at what is within our control, our associates are uncovering opportunities to positively impact how we run our operation amidst current economic realities.

With the support for WEDnetPA, we’ve made great strides toward our goal of becoming a continuous improvement culture; their investment in us has helped off-set the cost of training.  WEDnet is an untapped resource, and in many organizations, training is the first line item cut from the budget.  Turkey Hill Dairy’s decision to invest in Lean and technology training expands our organizational capacity.
