Case Study: Cooking up Efficiency: Bama Companies' Modernization Journey
1/31/24 | Rexel
Bama Companies is a prominent and award-winning player in the food and beverage industry. With three production facilities and an additional fourth chilled storage site, Bama Companies has established its presence in the market. Their factories run 2 million biscuits a day, as well as handheld pies, buns, pie shells, and pizza crusts for markets all over the world. With that much product volume, efficiency is critical.
However, they were grappling with challenges that were impeding their operations.
The Challenge
The first hurdle Bama Companies faced was a combination of labor and skills shortage. A high turnover rate within their workforce was causing disruptions and downtime in their production process.
To compound the issue, their manufacturing facilities were equipped with a mixture of old and new technology, making maintenance and support a daunting task. In their efforts to keep production lines running, they resorted to purchasing a wide array of replacement parts, leading to escalating operational costs.
The Solution
Rexel provided a holistic solution to their challenges. By leveraging elements of the Rexel Support Agreement, the team initiated a strategy to resolve immediate issues and pave the way for sustained improvements.

- Modernization: Starting with drive technology, Bama Companies embarked on a journey to integrate newer, more efficient components into their production lines.
