The 12-month Project Darwin programme is already underway and covers manufacturing, logistics, products, procurement, people and customer relationships.
Müller Milk & Ingredients (MMI), producer of branded and private label fresh and flavoured milk, cream, butter and ingredients, has launched a £100m cost and margin improvement programme which aims to secure a vibrant and sustainable future for the business, benefiting consumers, customers, employees and farmers.
Project Darwin includes a comprehensive review of every aspect of MMI’s operations, logistics, back office and people organisation in order to simplify the business, reduce cost and further improve customer focus and accountability.
The 12-month Project Darwin programme is already underway and covers manufacturing, logistics, products, procurement, people and customer relationships.
It is too early in the project to be able to convey specific changes in each part of the MMI business and organisation and in customer relationships and priorities, but the company is committed to keeping stakeholders informed during the course of the programme.
Patrick Müller, CEO of Müller Milk & Ingredients said “We have the best invested network in our industry and aim to be the leading fresh milk processor in the country for years to come. We’ve invested in unique and class leading propositions in farm to fridge product quality and shelf life. We have fully recyclable packaging including securing 50% of Britain’s stocks of recycled HDPE for use in bottles, efficient dairies and innovative ways of working with farmers to help protect them from market volatility.
“Project Darwin is about adapting to the changing market environment, becoming a customer centric, agile and simpler business.
