The oil industry faces great volatility and seasonality
Changing prices, promotional campaigns and variation in assortment complicate planning. Integrated management allows you to adjust inventory, ensure availability and protect margins against market instability.
The main challenges facing the oil industry
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Demand variability due to harvests and promotions
Sales of vegetable and premium oils vary depending on vintages and retail promotions, creating unpredictable fluctuations in demand.
-
Insufficient linear forecast for variations
Linear forecast fails, causing production emergencies or line stoppages due to its inability to capture demand peaks.
-
Impact on margins and perception of service
Reduced margin and perception of service failure by the customer due to lack of availability or excess stock.

-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Long import lead times
Importation of palm oil or special caps with lead times of 60-90 days, which causes delays in the supply chain.
-
Dependence on single suppliers and high MOQs
High MOQs and single suppliers generate line downtime or high logistics costs due to lack of flexibility.
-
Mismatch between demand and supply capacity
The lack of alignment between real demand and the supply capacity of suppliers generates stock problems and difficulties in planning.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Dynamic change of supplier based on availability
Dynamically change suppliers based on availability to guarantee production continuity and avoid bottlenecks.
-
Consolidation of volumes to optimize transportation
Consolidate volumes until containers are full, improving transportation efficiency and reducing costs.

Automatic MOQs verification
Check MOQs automatically to avoid incorrect orders and adjust purchasing planning.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Complexity of packaging and process changes
Changes in packaging, aroma or type of oil generate downtime and increase production costs.
-
Lack of visibility in production sequencing
Blind sequencing causes loss of shifts and additional costs, as it does not adjust to the real needs of production.
-
Inefficiency in resource planning
The lack of resource planning for line changes generates unnecessary delays and incorrect allocation of productive capacity.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Modeling real times of change
Model real change times to optimize the process and reduce inefficiencies, based on historical and real data.
-
Finite capacity planning with compatible SKUs
Plan at finite capacity by grouping compatible SKUs to reduce changeover times and maximize efficiency.
-
Minimization of micro-stops in production
Reduce micro-stops and free up productive hours through better organization of tasks and resources on the production line.
-
-
What does it mean for your company?
-
Mismatch between distributor purchases and retail sales
Distributors buy full pallets but sell at retail, which distorts the demand forecast and affects production planning.
-
Forecast based on old orders
Forecast reflects old orders, causing sudden breakages or late overproduction by not capturing variations in real demand.
-
Lack of alignment between production and real sales
The lack of visibility in retail sales and inventory movements generates imbalances in production, leading to lack of stock or excess inventory.
How Imperia SCP solves it
-
Conversion of sell-out into net demand
Convert sell-out into net demand by purchasing frequency, improving forecast accuracy and adjusting production.
-
Visualization of deviations between orders and forecast
Visualize deviations between orders and forecast to make quick decisions and adjust forecasts to real demand.
-
Advance production adjustment
Adjust production before emptying shelves or generating returns, ensuring availability without generating excess stock.
-
-
Poor multi-warehouse visibility
Stock confusion and urgent transfers.
Integrate a centralized system that provides real-time visibility of inventories in all warehouses, facilitating decision-making and efficient management.
Invisible obsolescence and expiration
Expired lots affect forecast and purchases.
Implement a product life management system that alerts about batches that are about to expire and automatically adjusts purchasing forecasts.
