In today’s competitive food service sector, effective operations and supply chain management are critical for success. I recently spoke about this at the Food Service and Agri Suppliers Expo in Marawi City. Here, the key takeaways and strategies discussed, are inspired by the scenarios explored during the workshop.

One area that offers significant opportunities for food manufacturers to drive profitability is in the blending process. Optimizing costs, sourcing and ingredient usage, as well as production output, can be achieved with the right blend. However, blending presents a level of complexity that makes it impossible for planners to calculate the best blend using traditional methods. Fortunately, digital planning solutions can help manufacturers manage inventory, reduce waste, and ensure business continuity in the face of supply shortages. With the ability to test blends and recipes for extended shelf life while predicting their impact on production, inventory, and profit, food manufacturers can make better decisions in line with business KPIs.

As food and beverage products are produced and prepared for the end consumers, the spotlight shifts to the crucial final stages – packaging and shipping. Here, the principles of lean manufacturing continue to play a vital role. Optimizing these end processes not only streamlines operations but also ensures that products reach consumers in the best possible condition. In packaging, the goal is twofold: efficiency and sustainability. By refining packaging designs and methods, manufacturers can drastically cut down on material waste. Smart, lean packaging is about using just enough material to ensure safety and attractiveness without excess. The logistics of shipping these products are equally important. A demand-driven logistics approach means products are sent out based on real-time market needs. This strategy is particularly crucial for perishable goods, ensuring they are delivered fresh and on time. It’s a balancing act between meeting demand, minimizing storage time, and reducing transportation costs. By challenging yourself to think creatively about the packaging and transportation of your products, you can stand out and increase your competitive edge. #packaging #cpg #logistics #transportation #productpackaging
