The objective of the programme is to support the adoption of the principles of Lean manufacturing to achieve operational and efficiency improvements at pig producer farm level.
The programme will be available to pig producers in Ireland who are members of the Bord Bia Pigmeat Quality Assurance Scheme. Participants in the programme will work with a panel of Lean consultants established by Bord Bia and Teagasc to deliver a mix of on-farm Lean Start and Lean Plus projects.
Teagasc Director, Professor Gerry Boyle also welcomed the roll out saying: “Teagasc are delighted to be involved in this project after a very successful pilot programme, involving Knowledge Transfer staff in the Teagasc pigs development department. The pig sector in Ireland is resilient and one in which efficiency and costs of production are critical to survival. Lean principles have a role in improving this for the pig sector.”
