Justifying the cost of a plant visibility solution

Gain tangible benefits from implementing an in-plant information solution in your food processing facility, including:

• Labour savings: Reduce rework, returns, and overproduction
• Inventory turnover savings: Improve stock rotation, reducing overstock
• Reduce scrapping of aged inventory: Serialized tracking by carton lets you know where every carton is, and lets you focus on moving products before they become too old to ship
• Save on capital investments: Ensure lines are running as efficiently as possible, so that you can produce more with your existing plant capacity
• Reduce giveaway: for standard weight products, ensure your shipments statistically comply with regulations regarding weight tolerances, while not giving away your profits.
• Reduce downtime: Be notified in real-time of events that shut down your line. Automatically notify the people responsible for keeping it running (eg: maintenance/IT), and escalate if the severity increases or no resolution is found within the expected time
• Reduce scope and risk of recalls: know what you shipped, and what went into each shipment so that if a product needs to be quarantined, only the suspect product is affected

Intangible benefits of increasing visibility are those strategic benefits that help you stay ahead of your competition:

• More informed decision making: Provide more accurate and more timely information to decision makers (eg: production management)
• Improve customer satisfaction: increased production and inventory visibility ensures your customer gets the correct shipment, on time. Happy customers will order more.
