5. 1999 • Fonterra legacy company Kiwi Dairies approaches CCI with a view to
deploying TRACC as a framework to assist them with improving operational
performance
TRACC Milestones
March
• Kiwi Dairies appoints CCI to assist with TRACC deployment at two pilots: the
Cheese plant and the Milk Collection department at the Whareroa site in the
Taranaki region
• The group’s CI initiative is named ‘Manufacturing Excellence’ (later to become
‘Operational Excellence’)
• The Cheese plant is identified as a pilot due to sporadic quality issues
• At Milk Collection, the initial focus is on the fleet maintenance workshop.
Some of the objectives of this pilot include: more efficient fleet and route
planning, and the reduction of maintenance and running costs

6. • To get the ball rolling at Milk Collection, a TRACC Set-up Time Reduction
blitz is introduced with three objectives:
1. Increase on-the-road capacity of its tanker fleet at any given time
2. Streamline maintenance processes to ensure efficiency gains are
sustainable
3. Maintain the tanker fleet’s reliability and total availability rates
TRACC Milestones
• Within two years of TRACC deployment, the Cheese plant increased OEE by 24.8% and achieved
an impressively positive ROI (nearly 57 times payback on investment)
• On Product Time (OPT) increased from 76% to 84.5%
• As a result of the blitz activity, the maintenance workshop at Milk Collection achieved an 87.5%
reduction in time spent off the road for maintenance, a 94% reduction in the distance walked
during the service, a 65% reduction in service time, and a truck availability rate of 99%

2010
• The TRACC business performance improvement approach is now deeply
embedded within Fonterra manufacturing operations as Operational
Excellence, and the next phase of building an integrated and defining
business system begins
• Rebranded as ‘The Fonterra Way’, the initiative becomes the framework for
the fully internalised approach to all work
2015 • 15 years on, the journey that started with two small pilots in Taranaki in 2000 is
declared a resounding success
• CCI is immensely proud to have worked closely with Fonterra since 2000 in building its
capability in Operational Excellence, proudly known today as The Fonterra Way
There can be no doubt that our plants present better since the
introduction of Manufacturing Excellence (TRACC).
