The soup industry requires tight and flexible forecasts
Demand is marked by seasonality, promotions and the growing diversification of formats. Connecting forecasting, purchasing and production allows you to adjust inventory, avoid breakages during consumption peaks and maintain efficiency throughout the supply chain.
The main challenges facing the soup industry
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Seasonal variations and unpredictable events
The sale of soups and broths increases with cold weather, festivities or local events, generating sudden peaks in demand that are difficult to anticipate.
-
Linear and inefficient forecast
A linear forecast causes critical breakages or excess perishable stock, affecting the continuity of supply and profitability.
-
Impact on margin and service perception
Reduced margin and negative perception due to lack of star products, compromising customer satisfaction and brand image.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Identification of consumption patterns
Recognize weekly consumption patterns to adjust forecasts based on seasonality and recurring events.
-
Dynamic adjustment of the forecast
Adjust forecast for demand peaks to improve accuracy and reduce losses or breakages.
-
Balanced inventory planning
Maintain availability without inflating inventory or generating waste, guaranteeing efficiency and sustainability.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Backorders not integrated into the forecast
Restaurant and hotel backorders not reflected in the forecast generate mismatches between real demand and planned production.
-
Production based on theoretical plan
Production follows the theoretical plan, causing partial deliveries and affecting the perception of service.
-
Lack of reaction to demand deviations
The absence of integration between sales and planning prevents absorbing real demand peaks in time, causing breakages and urgent reprocessing.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Sales integration confirmed in real time
Integrate confirmed sales in real time to align forecast, production and distribution with effective demand.
-
Dynamic production replanning
Decide whether to replan or discard demand according to priority and available capacity, optimizing resources.
-
OTIF maintenance and operational stability
Maintain OTIF and avoid incident escalation through continuous synchronization between sales, planning and operations.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Complex changes between flavors and formats
Changes between flavors, containers or formats require CIP cleaning and adjustments, generating downtime and loss of efficiency.
-
Planning without considering real capacity
Sequencing ignoring finite capacity causes unfeasible orders, operational imbalances and resource overload.
-
Operational delays and cost overruns
Delays, overtime and waste derived from inefficient sequencing that does not optimize changeover times or productive load.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Realistic Gantt chart
A realistic Gantt chart respecting change times to ensure achievable and productive planning.
-
Blocking unviable sequences
Block unviable sequences and visualize daily saturation to anticipate overloads and improve resource allocation.
-
Reduction of micro-stops
Reduce micro-stops and free up productive hours, increasing production efficiency and stability.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
High order minimums and full loads
Imported ingredients and packaging with high MOQs or full containers limit flexibility and increase the risk of overstocks.
-
Logistics costs due to inefficient orders
Incomplete orders make freight more expensive; Overbuying ties up capital and reduces inventory turnover.
-
Lack of visibility in purchasing planning
The absence of prior alerts or simulations prevents optimization of container loading and causes reactive decisions.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
MOQ alerts and automatic calculation
MOQ alerts and automatic coverage calculation to adjust purchase volumes to actual demand.
-
Optimal load simulation
Optimal load simulation before order launch to maximize transportation efficiency and reduce logistics costs.
-
Automatic supplier switching
Alternation of suppliers if the main one fails to guarantee supply and avoid productive stops.
-
-
Constant product launches and substitutions
Blind forecast causes stockouts or excess stock.
Use flexible forecasting based on historical analogues and initial sales to adjust demand for new products.
Multi-warehouse complexity and stock redistribution
Urgent transfers and overstock due to lack of planning.
Centralize multi-warehouse management with real-time visibility to plan transfers and balance stock between centers.
