Hi! My name is Jaime Galván Raygoza and I want to tell you about my experience working at Sauza, as a leader of the packaging area.
In a world of different suppliers, it's important to have a positive relationship with them. After all, suppliers are a crucial part of any supply chain and if they are strong, you are strong with them and, together, you can accomplish goals.
Here are some tips that are currently being implemented in Casa Sauza, which have helped maintain a high delivery rate to our clients.
How do we implement improvements in Sauza?
The purpose of this blog is to know which things we should keep in mind when our production equipment presents a chronic failure that causes micro stoppages.
After a long time and as a consequence of the implementation of a Management System, we had the need to document in a comprehensive, clear and concrete way: our Vision, Mission, Values and Strategies of Tequila Sauza, aligned with those of the corporate; This resulted in Our Comprehensive Policy. We call it comprehensive because it groups the elements of Quality Management, Food Safety, Environment and Safety & Health at the workplace. This policy is reviewed, updated and communicated frequently, to give us direction, support us and target our efforts towards a single destination.
In an previous article, one of our readers asked in the comments section about "pre-emergent selective chemical herbicides for weed control for the cultivation of the agave, or the one that affects the crop the least, as well as of a fungicide to prevent or control fusarium".

Can Total Productive Management (TPM) be applied to the agricultural area? Of course it can! On the following video, our coworkers from Suaza share how they've applied it at the agave fields. With TPM, all of Sauza's coworkers grow at a personal level. It is based on this personal growth that our people strengthen themselves and thus, are able to constantly improve the production tequila. This is how we keep our innovation tradition alive.
Well, I will tell you here how I cooperate in the life extension and great performance of our industrial equipment. We achieve this by making two of our pillars work together:
Autonomous Maintenance and very close to it, Planned Maintenance.
We have a Autonomous Maintenance intervention every 8 days.
