In 2009-2010 Maple Leaf started to utilize Agristats and Metafarm to evaluate their performance, and set production goals. Agristats allowed them to internally benchmark their performance between barns, and to create competition to increase overall production quality. Metafarm allows benchmarking between different companies, and to recognize which areas are important to improve. Maple Leaf found they had a volatile, and the nurseries were frequently over capacity. They were able to stabilize the flow, and increase weanling weights after identifying the problem. Overall, Maple Leaf has been able to increase net profit by then setting priorities, effectively communication production information, and focusing resources on big areas.
