Value of APS application in food industry

China's food industry is a highly competitive industry , The average profit margin is low , But the market space is huge , Affected by the epidemic , The production and sales of China's food industry have room for substantial improvement . In the future development , The consumption and demand of food will complete the pursuit of quantity to quality 、 nutrition 、 Diverse and convenient transformation , Therefore, the development prospect and potential of food sweat are huge , The risk is relatively low . From the statistical data , near 10 Over the years , China's food industry averages 10.2% The speed of development , It occupies a very important position in the national economy .

  One 、 Production status of food industry

1. raw material 、 Partially Prepared Products 、 The management of the shelf life of finished products is chaotic ;

2. There are many kinds of products 、 Repeated processing is frequent 、 There are many processes 、 There are many product switching ;

3. There are many kinds of machines 、 Tools are cleaned more frequently ;

4. BOM The formula changes frequently , There is a phenomenon that the formula proportion changes with the change of raw material quality, purity and concentration ;

5. There are many food measurement units , There is a phenomenon that prices are easy to make mistakes ;

6. Materials are reused more , The phenomenon that makes cost statistics difficult ;

7. finished product 、 Raw material inventory is not reflected in time ;

8. Mainly manual scheduling , It leads to a large amount of calculation 、 Unequal distribution of tasks ;

9. There are many constraints , There are many kinds of production lines 、 The phenomenon of multi line production of varieties ;

10. Limited bottleneck equipment , Cause equipment resource limitation and waste ;

11. Subject to order changes 、 The impact of inserting orders , Insufficient supply of safety stock ;

12. The market demand changes rapidly , The delivery time is short 、 Frequent order insertion and other phenomena ;

13. The level of production equipment is backward , There is energy consumption 、 High material ;

14. The production mode is mass production 、 Continuous production mode is the main .

Two 、 Difficulties in production management of food industry

Difficult to make production plan ： Due to the product quality, there are many red samples 、 There are many factories , Multiple levels of production planning , Chaotic planning , It is difficult to reflect the relationship between materials in time 、 The supply relationship with the factory .

Difficult inventory management ： Short shelf life 、 High turnover requirements , In addition, there are many kinds of products 、 High timeliness , Confirmation of delivery and receipt 、 Heavy workload of query and other operations , Unable to use first in first out management .

Difficult to summarize production site data ： It is difficult to provide accurate data basis for planners 、 Control the quantity of WIP in the workshop , It is difficult to know the workshop leader in time 、 Material information and grasp the working conditions of each process on the production line .

Complex recipe management ： The formula information of the enterprise is confidential , Frequent recipe changes can easily lead to more change records , It increases the difficulty of formula management , It is also difficult to accurately grasp the degree of raw material loss .

Batch tracking and shelf life management are difficult ： Because it is difficult for enterprises to reduce raw materials 、 Partially Prepared Products 、 The inventory phenomenon that a little makes a lot of finished products , It increases the difficulty of shelf-life Management , The problem of order batch also affects the planner's grasp of the overdue situation of raw materials , In addition, special circumstances such as emergency order insertion , It also affects the shelf life plan .

3、 ... and 、 Andafa APS The value that advanced scheduling system brings to food enterprises

1. Time ： Many food manufacturers spend a lot of time trying to schedule the most advantageous process . Introduction of andafa APS Advanced scheduling system , This is an advanced planning and scheduling software system based on supply chain constraint theory , By considering the constraints of a variety of limited capacity resources simultaneously , According to various preset rules , Through very complex intelligent mathematical algorithms , Repeat the simulation 、 Probe 、 Optimize 、 Calculation , Finally, a relatively optimal detailed plan is given . Moreover, the scheduling calculation process can be completed in a few minutes at the fastest , Compared with traditional manual calculation , It saves a lot of time .

2. cost ： Andafa APS Advanced scheduling system scheduling optimization , Be able to clean up the production process and make it more efficient , Reduce the cost of the production process , So as to improve the production process and eliminate the low efficiency and bottleneck of inventory , Eventually reduce inventory ; meanwhile , Workshop staff and planners can also be reduced accordingly （ Labor cost ）, Save money in the long run .

3. management ： Andafa APS Advanced scheduling system is used in production scheduling optimization , It can provide the production site in real time （ Including outsourcing / Subcontracting order ） Data information , For managers , The material input scheme can be adjusted in time , Cost savings 、 While facilitating management , It also leaves relatively feasible assets under management for enterprises , So as to optimize management .
