The VKB Group is a modern, dynamic and leading agricultural enterprise that has, since its establishment almost a century ago, constantly focused on progressively managing solutions for the changing and various needs of agricultural producers and related stakeholders.
The VKB Group can be esteemed to be a “house of brands” with a unique composition of brands of companies and products that makes the group one of the leaders in the agricultural environment.
Grainfield Chickens (part of the VKB Group) has been implementing 20 Keys for a few years and is aiming to achieve the International Excellence Award by April 2020.
Johan Benadie of ODI and Landi vd Merwe, Continuous Improvement Manager at VKB Agri Processors, kicked off the 20 Keys implementation at Triple V Feeds, Vrede with a planning workshop. The factory has highly sophisticated equipment and produces a range of animal feeds that is distributed by the VKB and NTK network of outlets. Every function also presents their Quality, Cost effectiveness and Delivery objectives for the next year. Jaco Viljoen, Executive Head of VKB Feeds, attended the session to share his expectations and support with goal alignment of objectives. “It was energising to see how passionate people are about the business” says Johan.
