infographicTRACC CASE STUDY
Financial gains totalled
RMB 500 000 with a three-month
return on investment, and SCMC
has made an across-the-board
decision to also introduce TRACC
at the Suzhou and Beijing sites.
Following considerable success at
its Dongguan plant, China’s
Coca-Cola Supply Chain
Management Company (SCMC)
decided to introduce TRACC Best
Practices to the Xiamen plant.
Improved set-up time
delivers operational success
The plant’s key driver for rolling out TRACC was set-up
time reduction. Before the roll-out, product set-up
time at Xiamen took approximately 12 hours, which
had a negative impact on net time utilisation.

STR adoption was not an easy process. The turning
point came when the front-line operators became
involved and engaged in the plant-wide CI effort.
This resulted in a highly motivated workforce and
significant results were achieved within the first 12
months of implementation.
Set-up time reduction became an internal benchmark
for other SCMC sites to follow as the product set-up
time dropped from 12 hours to just 4 hours.
