This case study involves one of the largest producer/packagers of wine and spirits in the world. Originally, the producer had no visibility in to how full their crush tanks were at any given time. The Mi Group provided them that visibility by installing levels and providing management with dashboards to track the level of each tank. This case is a prime example of how the Mi Group used dashboards to change an organization's culture and behavior – every manager now contributes to continuously improving the process.

This new visibility allowed them to optimize the fill of their crush tanks by flushing them as soon as they reached capacity. In turn, the company was able to purchase more grapes after the peak of the demand, and after prices had dropped significantly. This provided the producer higher margins in the process. In the two years following the implementation of the new visualization techniques, the winery had their two largest crush yields in history.

The Mi Group also helped the producer address and correct packaging line bottlenecks to optimize OEE.
