Latteria Soresina is a historic dairy cooperative. With over a century of experience, the company has established itself as a leader in the production of high-quality Italian cheeses, including Grana Padano PDO, Provolone Valpadana PDO, and butter, while maintaining strong ties to the local area and tradition.

Historically, planning and production at Latteria Soresina has been entrusted to the skill and historical memory of production department operators, based on specific commercial requests (make-to-order logic). There is therefore a need for demand planning in line with current market requirements, such as flexibility, reduction in batch size, fragmentation of references, and optimization of incoming and outgoing logistics flows.

The risk associated with demand management without a supporting information system includes:

A significant effort on the part of those involved in implementing the production plan.

The risk of making errors in assessing production capacity, quantifying the necessary raw materials, and estimating actual market demand.

Greater difficulty in estimating changes in consumer characteristics and habits.

Artificial intelligence for estimating market demand.

Advanced demand planning.

Strategic processing of different variables that can impact planning according to variable factors such as promotions, sales pushes, seasonality, weather, product TMC, remaining shelf life, customer in/outs, and order lead times.

Reliability in order fulfillment and production efficiency.
