Chevron DownChevron Down

Being in business for 137 years is no easy task. It also requires constant transformation if your company is determined to be around for the next century. Up for the challenge, Chelsea Milling Company (CMC) implemented Plex in 2024 to future-ready their operations.

Plex’s annual Impact Awards celebrate the accomplishments of our customers and their ingenuity from the past year. CMC is this year's 2024 Transformer Impact Award Winner, awarded in recognition of the company’s commitment to digital progress and automation.

Chelsea Milling Company

CMC is best known for the iconic blue “JIFFY” Mixes logo found across their fourteen boxes of dry baking mixes as well as their CMC and “JIFFY” branded products within the Foodservice industry. It’s no wonder the brand and their recipes have become a staple in pantries across the world – the family-owned business was established in 1901 and continues to thrive today. The baking mix company prides themselves on the strength of their company culture and encourages collaboration in all areas of their business.

A Company Committed to Transformation and Continuous Improvement

Efforts to position the company for continued long-term success started prior to CMC’s Plex implementation. As mentioned, CMC manufactures fourteen different dry baking mixes marketed under the brand name ““JIFFY” and is found in grocery stores. Since 2007, the company also began selling larger format bags and cases for the foodservice industry. This industry covers everything from restaurants, entertainment venues, schools, universities, corporate dining rooms, healthcare, corrections, and much more.

With a consistent mindset of continuous improvement, the company faced the challenge of having to upgrade their core technologies, including a fresh look at their ERP. When searching for a smart manufacturing solution, the CMC team desired greater visibility across their entire operation. CMC selected Plex ERP, including Plex MES A&O, and kicked off their digital transformation journey.

A Recipe for Success with Plex ERP

To ensure a seamless implementation, CMC worked with Plex Premier Partner Control+M Solutions. With their help, CMC executed an implementation plan that not only focused on technology, but also organizational change management. This approach encouraged an all-hands-on-deck mentality throughout the company and generated excitement across the workforce as the migration neared.

The Plex-powered results CMC has since witnessed are part of the reason they are this year’s 2024 Plex Transformer Impact Award winner:

  • Benefitted from real-time production insights, and inventory depletion
  • Automated WIP management with Plex MES A&O while maintaining line speed
  • Clarified customer demand, gaining visibility along the entire production chain
  • Digitized previously paper-based processes
  • Improved AP, AR, capital planning, and product costing

The 2024 Transformer Impact Award

CMC is a company with a history of transforming and continuously improving. The implementation of Plex ERP stands out as a milestone for the dry baking mix business, preparing CMC for the future and offering agility. As they continue to reinvent the wheel—or rather, the recipe for the wheel—we are excited to see what's next for CMC. We are even more excited to name Chelsea Milling Company as this year’s 2024 Transformer Impact Award Winner.

Congratulations to Chelsea Milling Company for being selected as the 2024 Transformer Impact Award Winner!
