Kraft Heinz is one of the world’s largest suppliers of packaged foods and beverages, operating in over 40 countries with over 20 brands in its portfolio.  Oscar Mayer, an American meat and cold cut production company, is one of those 20 brands operating out of Chicago, IL.

Kraft Heinz chose a DELMIA Quintiq solution after recognizing the need to consolidate their multiple legacy planning systems at the Oscar Mayer production facilities. Now, with the solution and optimizer in place, Kraft Heinz planners are able to easily and accurately use ‘least cost formulas’ to produce their products at the lowest costs possible. Additional benefits recognize include:

• Costs were cut with the reduction in IT software used which significantly cut miscommunications along their production line
• Integrated material management capabilities cut unnecessary inventory stockpiles and reduced product waste
• Purchase recommendations now allow buyers to fully utilize their tiered pricing and contractual limits to further cut costs and reduce product waste.
