The food industry is characterised by high product variety, shelf‑life constraints, and strong cost pressure. Typical challenges include:
- Daily and weekly planning cycles combined with short‑term demand fluctuations
- Integration of forecasts, orders, and minimum coverage levels into a single, consistent plan
- Weekend‑ and promotion‑driven demand fluctuations
- Shelf‑life constraints across the entire supply chain
- Limited Planning Horizons in Detailed Scheduling
- Conflicting objectives between service levels, inventory, and profitability
Traditional planning approaches reach their limits, as isolated processes and a lack of scenario capability lead to reactive decisions and unnecessary costs.
