Lean Six Sigma in agriculture also formulates concepts behind the implementation of agriculture activities. It organizes operations so that they can improve the product quality, as well as provide optimal logistics, the right pricing point, and a reduction in waste. This system is necessary for the modern agricultural industry because there is such a demand for high-quality food production.
Government Funding Options Within the Animal Farming Sector
In addition to the tangible financial benefits possible through lean, much of the research and development efforts (labour, materials, and subcontracts) required in the Animal Farming sector could be eligible to be recovered through government funding, such as through the Scientific Research & Experimental Development (SR&ED) program in Canada.
There are applicable government grants to aid with the upfront costs of corporate training that is typically required during the implementation of Lean Six Sigma / Continuous Improvement methodologies. There are also other grants specifically designed to cover costs associated with process improvement implementation, exports, sales, and marketing. AMSaxum experts in government funding help with the application of these grants and with the preparation of SR&ED claims.
