F&B Conglomerate reduces production planning cycle time with Bristlecone

The F&B Conglomerate, a food and beverage company, faced challenges due to its legacy planning systems, which were causing significant delays. Their planning and execution systems were not integrated, leading to poor schedule adherence. To address this, they partnered with vendor Bristlecone for an implementation of PPDS.

Bristlecone's solution helped the F&B Conglomerate achieve substantial business benefits. The implementation resulted in a reduced production planning cycle time, improved schedule adherence, and better planner productivity. Measurable impacts included improved fill rates, reduced changeovers, and increased asset utilization, tank planning capability, and multi-level scheduling and sequencing.
