I was involved in optimization and capacity development for production of Stilton Blue Cheese.Where I analysed production flow in order to identify opportunities and also proposed solutions while working alongside the management. One major recommendation that I made was to process the 'Whey'- a dairy byproduct, in-house rather than selling it away to a competitor. I made a business case to the company by assessing the cost structures pertaining to production setup and logistics and valued its profit potential to be GBP 478,000 per year. My efforts were highly commended and the proposition is under consideration.
