Presentation description:

Value of digitalized planning and prediction in live production

Most poultry companies would categorize their production planning as very complex as it has a chain effect across the entire vertical integration. The fact is that most management struggle to make sense of planning, and use complex excel spreadsheets, which in many cases require several people to manage. See how a digitalized planning module works for the poultry supply chain so companies can proactively predict, optimize and effectively mitigate disruptions in their planning process.
