Dairygold farmers’ plan to ‘work smarter, not harder’
Dairygold has successfully applied “lean” management techniques inside its business for five years, and says a farm level programme is seen as a natural progression.
The term “lean” was first coined by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology research team, to describe Toyota’s business in the late 1980s. Now, after initial farm trials, Dairygold has extended the Lean Farm programme to a pilot group of 15 milk suppliers who recently received training.
