 Food and beverage companies operate today in an environment very different to that of a few years ago. Some of the old paradigms, such as producing inventory to forecast, long production runs, and limited number of product categories, are no longer viable. The changing demands and fashions of the consumer market mean that food and beverage processors cannot plan on the basis of a long product life, and innovation has become a critical factor for survival.
Critical issues facing the Food and Beverage industry include: increased levels of regulation in the form of quality, documentation and traceability; demands for variety and innovation; low profit margins; and shelf life management. Unique issues include: consistent quality of raw materials cannot be guaranteed necessitating dynamic recipes, together with variable processes; and forecasting in the final stages of production center around packaging sizes.
