href=\"https:\/\/planwisely.ai\/en\/what-is-production-planning-all-in-a-row\/\">production planning<\/a>. You have to deal with limited shelf life, fluctuating demand, strict food safety requirements, allergens, batch production, and raw materials that are not available in unlimited quantities. At the same time, you want to improve delivery reliability, reduce waste, and make optimal use of production capacity.  <\/p><p><\/p><p>Many companies still do most of their planning in ERP systems or Excel. That works as long as the situation remains stable. But as soon as a machine breaks down, a rush order comes in, or a raw material is delivered late, it takes a lot of time to redo the schedule. Moreover, it\u2019s difficult to predict the consequences of changes in advance.   <\/p><p><\/p><p>As a result, more and more food companies are opting for a smart, data-driven approach to planning.<\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Traditional Production Planning Falls Short<\/h2><p><\/p><p>ERP systems are excellent at tracking orders, inventory, and production data.

An APS system goes far beyond traditional ERP planning because it automatically takes into account factors such as: <\/p><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>FIFO and FEFO;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>shelf life of raw materials and finished products;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>batch sizes;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>changeover times;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>cleaning times;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>allergens;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>machine capacity;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>staff availability.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><p><\/p><p><a href=\"https:\/\/planwisely.ai\/en\/production-planning\/\">Planwisely combines the power of APS with artificial intelligence and a digital twin<\/a>. This not only creates an optimal production schedule, but also allows you to simulate various planning scenarios before production actually begins. <\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Simulation Using a Digital Twin<\/h2><p><\/p><p>A key advantage of modern production planning is that you don&#8217;t just create a schedule\u2014you can also test it before implementing it.<\/p><p><\/p><p>A Digital Twin creates a digital replica of your factory. This allows you to simulate various scenarios without putting actual production at risk. <\/p><p><\/p><p>For example:<\/p><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What happens if a packaging line breaks down?<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>How does a rush order affect other customers?<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Is an extra shift cost-effective?<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>What happens if a supplier delivers late?<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Which schedule yields the highest output?<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><p><\/p><p>This way, decisions are based on data rather than assumptions.<\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specific Challenges in the Food Industry<\/h2><p><\/p><p>Every sector has its own planning challenges. In the food industry, these are often particularly complex because quality, food safety, and shelf life directly impact planning. <\/p><p><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FIFO and Shelf Life<\/h3><p><\/p><p>Raw materials and finished products have a limited shelf life. Therefore, production planning must take <a href=\"https:\/\/planwisely.ai\/en\/production-planning\/\">FIFO<\/a> (First In, First Out) or FEFO (First Expired, First Out) into account. By scheduling the right batches at the right time, you can prevent waste and reduce the likelihood that products will expire before they are processed or delivered.  <\/p><p><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Batch Production and Allergens<\/h3><p><\/p><p>Many food products are produced in batches. The order in which products are scheduled is crucial in this process. Incorrect scheduling can result in additional cleaning cycles or lead to unnecessary product changeovers. For products containing allergens, there are also additional requirements to prevent cross-contamination.   <\/p><p><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fluctuating demand<\/h3><p><\/p><p>Promotions, seasonal factors, and weather conditions regularly cause significant fluctuations in demand. Flexible production planning helps to respond quickly to these changes without overproduction or shortages. <\/p><p><\/p><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limited availability of raw materials<\/h3><p><\/p><p>Raw materials are not always available on time and, moreover, their quality or shelf life can vary from batch to batch. Smart planning automatically takes these constraints into account and prevents production lines from coming to a standstill unnecessarily. <\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why a Digital Twin Adds Significant Value, Especially in the Food Industry<\/h2><p><\/p><p>In the food industry, small changes often have major consequences for the entire production schedule. An additional rush order can lead to changes in batch sequences, extra cleaning, increased waste, or missed deliveries. <\/p><p><\/p><p>By first simulating these scenarios digitally, we gain insight into the consequences before actual production begins. This makes the planning more reliable and better-founded. <\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Benefits of AI-Powered Production Planning<\/h2><p><\/p><p>Companies in the food industry experience the following benefits, among others:<\/p><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>greater delivery reliability;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>less food waste;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>better utilization of machinery;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>less changeover time;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>less planning pressure for planners;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>respond more quickly to changes;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>more effective use of staff;<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li style=\"list-style-type: none;\"><ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>greater insight into alternative scenarios.<\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><p><\/p><p><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">PlanWisely: AI-Powered Production Planning with a Digital Twin<\/h2><p><\/p><p>PlanWisely combines artificial intelligence with a <a href=\"https:\/\/planwisely.ai\/en\/how-a-digital-twin-ai-radically-improves-your-production-planning\/\">digital twin<\/a> to make production planning smarter, faster, and more reliable.<\/p><p><\/p><p>Instead of simply recording what is happening, PlanWisely continuously calculates the optimal schedule based on the current situation in your factory.
