SUMMARY:Autonomous Planning for Food & Beverage Manufacturers
DESCRIPTION:This webinar\, hosted by the AFGC in partnership with RELEX\, will show how food and beverage manufacturers can better navigate one of the most complex planning environments in industry; balancing shelf life\, allergens\, batch constraints\, volatile demand\, and frequent supply disruptions. Despite this complexity\, many organisations still rely on spreadsheet-driven planning processes that struggle to react quickly and consistently. \nWhat you’ll gain: \n\nA clear understanding of what autonomous planning means in a food and beverage context\nInsight into why traditional planning struggles with short-term volatility\nHow shorter planning horizons improve responsiveness and factory stability\nThe role of digital twins and automated decision-making in execution planning\nPractical takeaways for reducing firefighting while improving service levels and efficiency\n\nThis webinar is open to AFGC Full Members only.
