Challenges
As the business scaled, the organization encountered significant operational and food safety challenges. At the same time, the team preserved the traditional manufacturing method. They struggled to optimize space due to limited infrastructure and evolving regulatory expectations. Moreover, ensuring compliance with applicable Food Safety Standards required a structured approach.
The team recognized that plant design, including equipment design, layout, zoning, ventilation, and drainage, plays a crucial role in consistent product quality and safety. Therefore, it became essential to identify a facility layout that aligned with both traditional processes and modern food safety requirements.
Solutioning
Kundan Sweets collaborated with experts to redesign the facility and integrate food safety into everyday operations. The intervention included:
- Facility Design Based on Movement Patterns
The team designed the layout by carefully analyzing the movement of people and materials. This enhanced workflow efficiency, reduced contamination risks, and improved overall operational safety. - Dedicated Units for Mithai and Namkeen Production
The team developed separate sections for mithai and namkeen to respect traditional processes while ensuring hygienic segregation. - Integration of Traditional Practices with Modern Standards
Although the team retained traditional preparation methods, they reorganized them to align with structured food safety principles. - Streamlined Inward and Outward Movement
The team established a well-defined process for managing raw material intake and finished product dispatch. This helped the staff understand the connection between facility flow and food safety compliance. - Strategic Equipment Placement
The team positioned equipment according to operational logic, hygiene zoning, and ease of maintenance.
As a result of these measures, the organization created a more efficient and food-safety-compliant manufacturing space.
