Real-time feedback project report

Abstract

This report contains the results of a MEM report conducted at Synlait Milk Limited (SML) between October 2016 and February 2017. SML is a dairy processing plant based in Dunsandel, Canterbury and produces a range of products from whole milk powders to canned infant formula. The primary purpose of the project was to identify how to provide better real-time feedback to the operators of the spray dryers. The project identified a number of opportunities for improvement and provides recommendations on how to capitalise those opportunities.
