Why Intelligent Food Planner Beats Planning With Spreadsheets or ERP
Disruptions are the norm rather than the exception: promotional surges, ingredient shortages, machine breakdowns to name but a few. Every day, planners are under pressure to update plans quickly. If you’re currently using spreadsheets or ERP for planning, compromises are inevitable:
Spreadsheets struggle to keep up with live shop-floor changes. They simply can’t model finite capacity and complex constraints. What you end up with are outdated, unusable plans that the shop floor can’t execute.
ERP systems are built for transactional record-keeping, they assume infinite capacity and fixed lead-times, so the “plan” they produce is more of a shopping list than a viable schedule.
