Food & Beverage Manufacturing

Real world studies show significant opportunity for performance improvements

Best-in-Class manufacturers in the food and beverage industry outperform their peers on a number of key performance indicators. Benchmark studies reveal how laggards should focus their efforts to catch up.

Over the past few decades, the food & beverage industry has experienced a huge surge in demand. Former mom-and-pop businesses have turned into global operations that produce everything from cereals to pop drinks. As demand continues to increase, it is important for companies to have the necessary analytics to efficiently and profitably supply the market.

To compile a manufacturing benchmark study for food & beverage manufacturers, we studied 725 manufacturing operations worldwide. Researchers used Solarsoft's Informance Enterprise Manufacturing Intelligence Suite, and IMPACT Advisory Services to collect data, derive insight and discover correlations to operational success of tactical and strategic actions.

The results are startling.  Best-in-class manufacturers achieved 86% higher OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) than the poorest performing segment in the survey.
