Kitting + Leadership Labor Solution — Global Food Products Group

The Challenge

• A global food products group had a last-minute project
  that needed three shifts and only had 48 hours to
  execute. The company did not have the ability to onboard
  and manage a third shift.
• New to Acción capabilities, this division had not worked
  with Acción before but had been referred from someone
  on his operations team at a different division.

The Solution: Acción 3rd Shift Managed Workforce

Acción was responsible for:

Leadership:

• 1 Team Lead
• 1 Dedicated Project Manager

Workforce:

• Providing 24 Teammates

• for approximately three weeks, beginning on
  Sunday, August 15 – This turnaround time was
  executed between 48 and 72 hours.

Highlights

• Training teammates on job requirements
