For food and beverage processors, supply chain management covers a lot of territory.
For instance, Ted Combs, an industry principal for CPG and Food & Beverage at AVEVA, says it is about optimization at all stages and providing end-to-end value for the business. From a procurement perspective, that might include ensuring the right ingredients are sourced and received at the right time. “It’s about creating a system that promotes traceability of ingredients and materials, supports recipe management and prioritizes quality,” he says.
