How Streamlined Admin Halved Customer Lead Time

Heineken

Heineken Ireland is the Irish operation of the Dutch-owned drinks giant, Heineken. Based in Cork, the brewery’s portfolio includes Heineken, Coors Light, Fosters, Beamish Stout, Murphy’s Stout, and a full range of specialty beers. The challenge was to streamline the company’s administrative processes in order to increase the acceptance rate of their brands throughout Ireland.

  • Green Belt Training.
  • 8 x half-day Mentoring Sessions.
  • Meeting with key managers in the company to scope out the proposed. assignment and establish a Project Charter.
