When we reflect on 2017 it was once again a year of significance in the history of Barnton. The team managed to successfully go-live with eight implementations in a diverse range of environments, which emphasizes our experience, commitment and capability.
The rollout at RCL Foods continued. In March their Pies business unit went live with BPlanning, followed by Beverages at the end of April. The Pie setup facilitates the interactive planning of baked- and unbaked pies in weekly buckets. Beverages on the other hand are short shelf life products, which requires daily planning to derive the factory production plan before production starts in the morning. Here the focus is on the ability to allocate full flavour batches to individual SKU’s, whereas at pies the main planning constraint is to remain within pack line capacity.
