A Major Food & Beverage Manufacturer optimizes answer to demand variability while reducing stocks

This is about a success story relative to one of our Customers who radically transformed its ability to answer to market demand thanks to DELMIA Ortems. 

Context & key objectives for the project : 

  • Get an industrialized scheduling system to respond to demand in a complex and constrained environment
  • Improve ability to answer to short term demand variability
  • Reduce finish good, packaging and ingredients supply chain stocks
  • Manage complex scheduling constraints: sanitation's during the night, changeovers, production lines balancing, freezing tunnel, etc.
  • Share production schedule between shop floor, procurement and other departments

Achieved Value :

  • Simplified, optimized and automated planning process
  • Planning Time Fence (PTF) reduced to 5 Days 
  • Finish good, packaging and ingredients supply chain stocks reduced to 5 Days 
  • Increased orders visibility to more than 3 Months
  • Mid Term Stock coverage follow-up at any time
  • Changeover times considered and optimized automatically

I wanted to share this success story with our Community Members.
