Make strategic production decisions and execute realistic, flexible schedules that satisfy customer obligations and maximize cost-effectiveness without sacrificing product freshness.
Supply chain inefficiencies have put fresh to the test
Seasonality, promotions, spoilage — fresh food manufacturers must juggle them all, and all without making costly production errors that cut into profit margins. Planners beholden to manual planning processes and working with spreadsheets often make decisions based on what feels right without knowing if another choice would have been more profitable.
Spoilage costs
Storage constraints, inefficient production schedules, and manual, reactive order adjustments disrupt manufacturing and lead to spoilage of limited shelf-life fresh products.
Production concerns
Factors like set-up times, allergen considerations, alternative recipes, and more complicate production planning and scheduling. This makes it difficult to find the most efficient and cost-effective way to fulfill customer orders.
Supply volatility
Anything from bad weather to geopolitical events can disrupt supply. In the face of raw material scarcity, manufacturers must determine order priority and scramble to avoid contractual penalties for late shipments.
Siloed information
Manual planning and an overreliance on high-touch methods result in data that is siloed, not shared. Teams operate independently without a single source of truth, inhibiting strategic decision-making.
