Building a new bakery is an exciting time. It represents
a new start and a clean slate to improve upon designs
of current or former facilities or fulfill a long-held wish
list. The opportunity is rare for many bakers, so getting
it done correctly takes a lot of thought and planning.
Projects that come in on time and on budget are often
the ones in which bakers put in the hard work needed at
the beginning of the process.
" You can't put too much time into the planning in
advance, " said Jim Kline, president, The EnSol Group.
" That's where you want to spend your time and resources.
Doing it later is expensive. When you're making
changes in design or facilities, those costs add up very
quickly. So, spend the money up front to perfect what
you're looking for and execute it quickly. "
Such preparation includes not only finding the best
location for a new bakery, but it also means designing
it to ensure the best production flow inside the plant as
well as a smooth operation startup.
" There are great startups and bad startups, and the
good startups typically are those with a well-thoughtout
schedule and adequate money spent up front prior
to project approvals to do an appropriate design, " said
Dave Watson, food, bakery and snacks engineering
subject matter expert, The Austin Co. " Getting the
right vendors is critical. I can't emphasize that enough.
Get vendors who have strong technical support, that
are reliable when it comes to deliveries and are going to
be there for the long haul and provide you with ongoing
support after startup. "
Choosing the right site
When embarking on a greenfield project, bakers need
to choose reliable partners for the job. Projects often
take more time and money than what is expected, so
assembling a competent team around you will make a
big difference, said Dan Myers, chief executive officer,
Pineville, NC-based Carolina Foods, which opened a
new bakery earlier this year.
" Surrounding yourself with a highly capable team, one
with positive energy and resourcefulness is probably the
best way to ensure a good outcome, because you really
never know what you're going to encounter, " he said. " What
you do need is a highly aligned team, know what the vision
is and what the outcome should be at the end of the project.
Then we can all work toward its desirable end. "
Carolina Foods found that choosing critical subcontractors
early in the process helped them in the planning
stages as well as later in the project.
" We engaged them in vetting the design and offering
practical alternatives during the value engineering
phase, " Myers said. " We got our electrical contractor, our
