A presentation by Bettina Klein Bachelor of Business Administration, Degree in Industrial Business Management, Manager: Manufacturing Excellence practice, EY, South Africa.

Delivered during the 38th annual SAPICS event for supply chain professionals in Sun City, South Africa.

Establishing competitive advantage through manufacturing excellence is more relevant now than ever, particularly in the South African and broader African context. As margins are squeezed, and with ever increasing pressure to increase local content, companies that can drive significant efficiency and productivity improvements in their manufacturing processes will have a significant performance advantage.

How can you achieve and sustain breakthrough manufacturing performance? Bettina’s presentation will illustrate the core concepts of Procter & Gamble’s manufacturing excellence program through a case study: British American Tobacco (BAT) SA.
