Listen "Juggling R&D, QA and Project Management"
Episode Synopsis
As Vice President of R&D, QA and Project Management at Applegate Farms, Chad Clem wears a lot of hats as he guides his teams through the process of developing and fine-tuning the processor’s lines of all-natural and organic deli meats, bacon, sausage, chicken, snacks and cheese. In this episode, Clem describes how staying on top of regulatory issues, innovation, food safety and other projects keeps his staff on its toes while meeting company objectives.
