Case Study: Grande Cheese Company achieves improved freshness and reduced supply chain risk with Arkieva

Grande Cheese Implements Supply Planning Solution

Grande Cheese Company, a leading U.S. maker of Italian cheeses and supplier to independent restaurants and pizzerias, was running its supply chain on 75 complex Excel spreadsheets with handwritten plant schedules and facing perishability pressures from a 30-day shelf life. To modernize planning and gain real-time flexibility, Grande Cheese Company selected Arkieva for an exception-based, digital supply planning and scheduling solution.

Arkieva implemented supply planning and finite scheduling with a cheese-aging model and a centralized “single version of the truth,” replacing manual spreadsheets and enabling real-time adjustments and what-if scenario analysis. As a result, Arkieva helped Grande Cheese Company mitigate spreadsheet risk, reduce inventory and waste by shipping cheese at optimal freshness, and increase scheduling flexibility and operational visibility.
