The OpExChange visit to Starbucks’ Sandy Run Roasting Plant highlighted a world-class operation grounded in people, craftsmanship, and continuous improvement. Producing over 70 million pounds of coffee each year, the site combines a unique cellular layout with a strong CI culture built on 5S, daily management, and hands-on A3 problem solving. Partners shared tangible wins—including major downtime reductions—and the team’s enthusiasm for learning was unmistakable. Though their CI journey is still young, Sandy Run is already setting the pace in safety, quality, and performance across the Starbucks network.
