Case Study: a major European food processing company aligns its future supply network with Bluecrux

a major European food processing company boosts EBITDA by more than 5% with Bluecrux

The customer, one of Europe's largest privately held food processing companies, faced a major challenge when European regulations eliminated production quotas, forcing a complete review of its manufacturing footprint to remain competitive. To align its supply network with future opportunities, it engaged the vendor Bluecrux, which utilized its digital tool Axon for the project.

Bluecrux implemented a solution that used Axon to model the customer's current manufacturing network and then played out different future-state scenarios. This process identified a subset of potential asset footprints, which were tested for robustness via Monte Carlo risk analysis, leading to a final qualitative assessment. As a result, Bluecrux helped the customer adopt a new strategic direction, achieving realistic quick wins that indicated a more than 5% increase in EBITDA and establishing a stronger competitive position for the future.
