I work at the intersection of food manufacturing, process engineering, cost management and business strategy — helping food businesses make better operational decisions and build stronger manufacturing systems.
My approach focuses on understanding how a manufacturing business actually operates: what it produces, what it costs, where resources are being lost, how efficiently production runs, and where opportunities for improvement exist.
I believe successful manufacturing combines three essential elements:
Food manufacturing is more than producing a product. It requires the right processes, suitable machinery, disciplined cost management, efficient operations and a clear understanding of profitability.
My professional focus is on helping food businesses approach these challenges systematically — from planning a new manufacturing facility to reviewing the performance of an existing operation.
Through food industry consultancy, manufacturing planning and cost management, I aim to help businesses make informed decisions, improve operational visibility and establish systems that support sustainable growth.
Conceptualized by Er. Keval Gandhi and powered by Salvin Industries, Spice Sigma™ is a practical 4-step factory audit (SS4) and precision costing system built specifically for spice processing plants and grinding mills.
In spice manufacturing—whether handling chili, turmeric, coriander, cumin, black pepper, or blended masalas—unmeasured moisture variations, grinding powder shrinkage, cyclone leaks, and machine downtime quietly erode profit margins. Spice Sigma™ replaces guesswork with verified shop-floor measurements and actual cost per kilogram.
Identify cost leakages and understand the actual economics of manufacturing through raw material analysis, production costing, packaging costs, wastage monitoring, manpower and utility expenses, product-wise profitability and corrective action planning.
Support project planning through process selection, plant layout, machinery planning, utilities coordination, vendor coordination, installation supervision and commissioning support.
Evaluate production workflows, capacity utilisation, process efficiency and operational bottlenecks to identify practical improvement opportunities.
Develop structured product costing, standard costing, SKU-wise cost sheets, management reports and monitoring systems that help management understand manufacturing performance.
Support business owners and entrepreneurs with manufacturing feasibility, capacity planning, project evaluation and operational planning.
