The hot beverage industry requires advance planning
With strong seasonality, intense promotions and tight expiration dates, inventory management is critical. A forecast connected to purchasing and production ensures availability, reduces losses and allows us to respond quickly to market changes.
The main challenges facing the hot drinks industry
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Consumption peaks in winter season
Sales of coffees, teas and infusions skyrocket in winter, generating fluctuations that are difficult to predict.
-
Linear and inefficient forecast
The linear forecast fails and causes emergencies or line stops, affecting the continuity of production and service.
-
Negative impact on margins and service
Diluted margin and perception of service failure by the client due to poor anticipation of demand.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Seasonal pattern recognition
Recognize weekly patterns and adjust forecast to reflect the real seasonality of consumption.
-
Quantifying the impact of campaigns
Quantify real impact of campaigns to integrate their effect into planning and avoid overproduction or breakages.
-
Agile and balanced planning
Agile planning that maintains availability without inflating inventory, guaranteeing efficiency and service level.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Long lead times and high purchase minimums
Importing raw materials and packaging with long lead times and high MOQs, which limits flexibility and increases the risk of breakage.
-
Dependence on critical suppliers
Line stops or exorbitant logistics costs if a supplier fails, affecting operational continuity and meeting deadlines.
-
Lack of optimization in transportation and orders
The lack of consolidation and automatic verification generates half-empty containers or overorders that increase costs and tied up capital.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Dynamic supplier change
Dynamically change suppliers based on availability to ensure supply and reduce the risk of interruptions.
-
Efficient volume consolidation
Consolidate volumes until containers are full, optimizing logistics costs and delivery times.
-
Automatic MOQs verification
Automatically verify MOQs to meet minimums without overordering, maintaining a balance between coverage and financial efficiency.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Complex changes between aromas and packaging
Each change in aroma or packaging requires CIP cleaning, purging and thermal adjustments, generating downtime and loss of productivity.
-
Sequencing without capacity criteria
Blind sequencing causes loss of shifts and extra cost per liter bottled, affecting operational efficiency.
-
Non-optimized productive load planning
The absence of finite capacity planning prevents the grouping of compatible SKUs, causing micro-stops and line overload.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Modeling real times of change
Model real changeover times to adjust productive sequences and reduce downtime.
-
Planning at finite capacity for compatibility
Plan at finite capacity by grouping compatible SKUs to minimize unnecessary cleaning and format changes.
-
Reduction of micro-stops and optimization of productive time
Reduce micro-stops and free up production hours, improving the overall efficiency of the plant.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Misalignment between actual purchases and sales
Distributors buy full pallets but sell at retail, generating a distorted perception of demand.
-
Forecast decoupled from final consumption
Forecast does not reflect real consumption, causing breakages or late overproduction and loss of efficiency in planning.
-
Lack of visibility between levels of the chain
The absence of real-time sell-out data prevents adjusting production and replacement, affecting availability and service level.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Conversion of sell-out into net demand
Convert sell-out into net demand according to purchase frequency to align forecast and replacement with actual consumption.
-
Visualization of deviations between orders and forecast
View order vs forecast deviations to detect discrepancies and correct forecasts quickly.
-
Advance production adjustment
Adjust production in advance to maintain shelf availability and avoid both breakages and excess inventory.
-
-
Poor multi-warehouse visibility
Stock confusion and urgent transfers.
Centralize inventory management with real-time visibility to better coordinate transfers and reduce logistics costs.
Invisible obsolescence and expiration
Expired lots affect the forecast and purchases.
Implement batch control and early alerts that identify products close to expiration and automatically adjust forecasts.
