Pilot in planning · Unnamed
A Kenyan CTC tea factory
Black tea, made the CTC way: green leaf arrives from buying centres and leaves as graded, packed made tea. This page is the proposed pilot. It is not a report of measured savings.
Three numbers
The shift watches these. A pilot sets the baseline in the first measured month.

What the shift sees
DiagramThe process
One stage at a time. Open a step to see what it senses and why that matters.
Green leaf reception and weighing
Leaf weight per delivery, against the supplier and the collection route. In the pilot this is entered from the weighbridge into FactoraERP. Automating the scale is a later phase.
Green-leaf kilograms are the denominator for out-turn and for paying growers.
