Balancing cost-effectiveness with the demand for top-quality products is no small feat. Traditional methods often rely on hefty safety margins, which can drive up costs and erode profits. However, there's a new approach that minimizes the need for large safety margins, offering a more efficient way to maintain quality while controlling costs. Explore how this innovative method can transform your production process.
In the highly competitive landscape of the nutrition supply chain, optimizing production processes while maintaining standard product quality is paramount. Manufacturing companies, especially those in sectors like flour milling, malting, milk powder production, and meat production, face the challenge of reducing operational costs, minimizing inventory investment, and ensuring consistent product quality.
Balancing cost-effectiveness with the demand for top-quality products is no small feat. Traditional methods often lead us to rely on hefty safety margins, which can drive up costs and eat into your profits. Plus, keeping everything running smoothly means constant manual adjustments and careful monitoring—it's a lot to handle!
Take for example a producer of meat-rich wet petfood. Their goal is utilizing their incoming raw materials as efficiently as possible. This can be a challenge as certain parameters for those materials can vary significantly, e.g. protein content in different meat batches. This variability can make it quite hard to stay within certain nutritional margins, meaning producers often must make continuous manual adjustments and carefully monitor production while building inefficient and large safety margins in your feed-lot production. That drives up costs and erodes profit margins.
Let us introduce Procision, BESTMIX's revolutionary production formulation approach that optimizes resources and ensures compliance across all production orders.
Procision doesn’t rely on “typical” or average raw material analyses. Instead, it optimizes according to the real price and quality of the individual raw material batches in your mill. You meet your target specifications – without the large safety margins and with lower raw-material costs. All required batch information can be imported automatically from your ERP or MES system through our advanced integration capabilities.
Procision optimizes the entire production plan in one go whilst taking into account your production rules. This prevents using all better price/quality batches in the first production orders of the day instead of where they are most valuable. This approach allows you to produce compliant feed and food for all production orders throughout the day, maintaining both quality and cost-effectiveness.
In fluctuating markets, Procision empowers your business to adapt quickly and effectively to changes in raw material quality and pricing. Procision ensures your production formulation remains optimized, even with high ingredient variability. While traditional approaches often require procurement based on fixed specifications, Procision allows you to step away from this constraint. With Procision, you can purchase the most cost-effective batches and still manage the inherent quality variability, ensuring that your production meets the required standards without compromising on cost or quality.
Take into account your production rules to ensure the compositions of your production orders align with the limitations of your production line (e.g., maximum number of bagged goods lots) or logistic priorities (e.g., “first in, first out”), eliminating manual adjustments that could disrupt production or affect pricing and quality.
Procision can only deliver its full potential when everything is seamlessly connected. BESTMIX ERP forms the backbone of this integrated system, ensuring efficient management of the procurement process. When raw materials are received, ERP automatically generates a sample in BESTMIX Quality Control, which performs the required tests. The analysis results are then sent back, keeping BESTMIX ERP up to date with accurate quality data for each raw material batch. This seamless connection across all systems allows Procision to optimize production formulation in real-time.
