SAFE (Standards-Based, Accountability Driven Food Excellence) is a proprietary methodology developed by Harlan in order to integrate a number of quality and operational excellence initiatives into a single, all-encompassing standards-based process.

Harlan's SAFE process purposely impacts every aspect of the Harlan enterprise.  The net result of SAFE is a high performing organizational structure with less friction, greater ability to respond effectively to customer needs, a cohesive culture and a higher level of operational performance.

Every Harlan team member plays an active role in SAFE and makes a formal commitment to helping the organization meet its customer's expectations.
