Background

About Mitchell Tullett

Previously at Muller Dairy (UK) Ltd. My job role included: Leading team of 4 direct report shift managers into a production department of 120+ team members in the safe, efficient and cost effective filling and packing of product across 8 production lines, 32 machinery assets in total. Together we strive to improve safety, quality, service and cost through our people, delivering capacity and efficiency improvements and striving to develop a world class manufacturing. In 2020, as a team and department we’ve delivered a 20% OEE increase across all productions lines from week 1 to date. I've completed a Masters Degree in Dairy business management with my thesis focusing on use of SMED to improve changeover times on a yogurt filling line and critical analysis of the benefits of use of a lean manufacturing system as an alternative to a signular lean tool implementation such as SMED. Prior to this I complete Specialised Foundation Science Degree in Dairy Technology. I have an indepth knowledge of raw milk pasteurisation, separation, plate heat exchangers, tubular heat exchangers, ultra heat treatment, incubation system, starter culture manufacture, autonomous liquid and powder mixing, Clean In Place and Sterilisation In Place Systems, HACCP systems and food safety management, Erca form fill seal, Ampack pre formed pot, and Schubert robotic packaging machines. An example of some projects I have been involved in include: Ampack optimisation - delivering a 50% increase in machine output and OEE. Changeover optimisation (SMED) reducing changeovers times by 50% delivering a factory efficiency increase. CIP Validations delivering a reduction in CIP times and spoilage problems. Protein and Recipe Optimisation. Tank Agitation Optimisation. Flush Water Optimisation. CIP benchmarking. Yogurt viscosity and solids standardisation. HACCP plan implementations.
