USCCG TO OFFER EXPERTISE AT FUTURE FOOD SUMMIT

One of only two consultants participating

CHICAGO -- USC Consulting Group, an independent consulting firm specializing in operational effectiveness and process improvement, was selected to participate as a "solution provider" in The Future Food Summit, February 10 – 12 at Amelia Island, Florida. George Coffey, SVP/business development, and David Gustovich, EVP/senior operations manager, will represent the firm.

Hosted by Marcus Evans, the event is designed to provide senior food executives with the information they need to confront the extremely complex issue of consumer demand. Over the course of the event, delegates and solution providers converge to discuss the latest in food services, solutions and technologies. Keynote speakers will include Sergio Zyman, former chief marketing officer for Coca-Cola, and Peter Van Stolk, founder and CEO of Jones Soda Company. Dennis O’Connor, COO, Qualtrace; Paul Jacobs, director of manufacturing for Nestle USA; and other notables will moderate sessions on such topics as "Implementing Good Automated Manufacturing Practices" and "Quality Improvement and Process Control."

"There isn’t a single food company out there that wouldn’t like to operate more effectively," commented Mr. Coffey. "This is a great opportunity to relate our experiences to senior food industry executives, as well as describe how we’ve gone about delivering important financial and operational benefits to dozens of well-known companies that have retained us."

Unlike many consulting firms, USCCG tailors its methodology and approach to productivity improvement to each client’s individual needs. This means results will vary but Mr. Coffey says his firm has been able to improve yields by as much as 27 percent, throughput by 30 percent and labor productivity by 20 percent. For more details, he recommends that interested parties visit the company’s web site at www.usccg.com.

The firm excels at process improvement and offers a broad array of services that include Six Sigma, systems solutions, supply chain optimization, inventory control, Lean Manufacturing, post-ERP support, quality improvement and World Class Maintenance Management.
