Working according to a fixed daily schedule, with clear tasks and procedures and efficient workspaces ensures less hassle, better results, and more job satisfaction.
Vetvice advises and supports structured, planned working methods on dairy farms. We do this very practically: on-site, with the people who actually do the work. And we make sure it works.
Think of:
A fixed daily, weekly and monthly schedule for all employees. With clear roles, defined tasks and concrete responsibilities
Standardized procedures and protocols
Safe, efficient and effective working with optimally designed workstations
Support, explanations, and training
Teamwork, leadership, onboarding, and feedback
Implementation of LEAN principles
As a first step, we review and discuss the current working methods with the people who do the work. Together, we identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. We then ensure everyone knows and follows the standard procedures. That way, that work is done increasingly better, safer and more pleasantly.
Topics include:
Milking, milking protocols, and milker training
Feeding cows and older youngstock
Feeding and caring for young calves
Fixed work planning (basic scheduling) and work schedules
Care and treatment of cows needing extra attention: dry period, calving and fresh or sick cows
