The cold beverage industry demands agility and precision

The main challenges facing the cold beverage industry
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Increase in demand in heat waves
Sales of soft drinks and water increase drastically in heat waves.
-
Linear forecast that does not adjust for variations
Linear forecast does not capture weekly variations, causing stockouts or excess stock.

Identification of weekly demand patterns
Identify weekly demand patterns to improve peak forecasting.

-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Long import lead times
Importation of containers, caps or ingredients with long lead times, which generates delays and imbalances in production.
-
Dependence on a single supplier
A single supplier or insufficient orders causes line stops or high logistics costs.
-
Lack of visibility in stock management
Generating uncertainty in supply planning and affecting response capacity.
How Imperia SCP solves it

Dynamic change of supplier based on availability
Dynamically change suppliers according to availability to guarantee continuity in production and minimize risks.

-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Change time due to product variations
Flavor, bottle or size changes require CIP cleaning and thermal adjustments, resulting in inefficiency.
-
Lack of visibility in sequencing
Blind sequencing causes loss of time and costs per liter, affecting the overall efficiency of production.
-
Mismatch between capacity and line changes
The lack of planning for line changes according to real production capacity generates loss of time and resources.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Modeling real times of change
Model real changeover times to optimize the process and reduce inefficiencies.
-
Planning at finite capacity by grouping SKUs
Plan at finite capacity by grouping compatible SKUs, improving efficiency and reducing unnecessary stops.
-
Minimization of micro-stops in production
Reduce micro-stops and free up productive hours, increasing production capacity without increasing costs.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Difference between distributor purchases and retail sales
Distributors buy complete pallets but sell at retail, which generates distortions in the forecast.
-
Forecast based on past orders
Forecast reflects previous orders, causing breakages or late overproduction due to lack of real-time update.
-
Lack of alignment between production and real demand
Production does not adequately adjust to the real demand of the points of sale, generating gaps on shelves or excess stock.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Conversion of sell-out into net demand
Convert sell-out into net demand by purchase frequency, improving visibility of consumers' real needs.
-
Visualization of deviations between orders and forecast
Visualize deviations between orders and forecast to make quick decisions and avoid stock imbalances.
-
Advance production adjustment
Adjust production before emptying shelves or surpluses, maintaining the balance between demand and manufacturing capacity.

-
Poor multi-warehouse visibility
Stock confusion and urgent transfers.
Centralize inventory management with real-time visibility through an integrated multi-warehouse control system.
Invisible obsolescence and expiration
Expired lots affect forecast and purchases.
Implement a product useful life management system that alerts about batches that are about to expire and automatically adjusts forecasts.
