Packaging World: When it comes to new packaging equipment installed at Lance, how would you describe your approach to training?

Toby Strickland:

Our project development process involves everyone affected by the project, with special attention paid to the operators and service personnel. In addition to the operational training to maximize efficiency, we focus our training efforts on personal safety, food safety, package quality, maintenance, and making sure we understand all the features and functions available on today’s high-tech equipment. On each project we strive to involve our operators and service personnel in training sessions at the manufacturer prior to shipment of the equipment and continue the training on site during startups and commissioning.
