Q . HOW IS DATA AND INTELLIGENCE USED TO FIND IMPROVEMENTS IN YOUR PROCESSES ?
ยป Within the supply chain , the sheer complexity of our business alongside gathering accurate , robust data can be time-consuming and difficult but is essential to our progress . Collaboration with data analysis experts using machine-learning software within manufacturing is leading to significant uplifts in wastage reduction and improvements in Overall Equipment Effectiveness ( OEE ).
Collaboration with suppliers and on-site trials help us understand the ability of the market to support us in reducing reliance on transportrelated fossil-fuels . For example , we are currently assessing an opportunity to replace on-site diesel consumption with Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil ( HVO ).
Another significant issue is our reliance on natural gas , used to raise steam and hot water to meet hygiene and food safety requirements . We are gathering intelligence around options and timelines of availability for hydrogen , hydrogen mix , and REGO certificates , while , at the same time , continuing the process using data analysis to optimise our current levels of consumption .
