Food and drink<\/h2>\n

Effective operations management in the food and drinks industry is dependent upon visibility and control of all aspects of the supply chain, from crop to consumer. In this highly competitive and dynamic environment, companies must become more agile than ever to compete. Rapid response to the changing needs of consumers is the key to success.<\/p>\n

Challenges in the food and drink industry<\/h2>\n

A number of evolving dynamics continue to add complexity and challenges to supply chains including increasing materials costs and constrained supply of critical inputs, driven by population growth, increasing wealth and consumerisation. Seismic legislation and taxation changes aimed at altering consumer behaviour and reducing environmental impact have also been introduced in recent years.<\/p>\n

Consumer demand has broadened with the growth of premium and fresh products at one end, and cost-conscious consumers driving the continued need for promotions and value products at the other. In addition, there has been a gradual opening up of new markets that can dramatically alter global demand, whilst also responding at home to channel pressures, including convenience retail and direct-to-consumer.<\/p>\n

There is increasing market thirst for innovation due to health \/ environmental concerns and premiumisation \/ segmented portfolios are putting stress on NPD processes and product lifecycle management. However, increasing data availability offers opportunities to identify additional sales and faster consumer response to those who are able to analyse this data effectively.<\/p>\n
