Optimise Your Meat Production
There are many ways in which animal carcasses can be divided into different products, some of them excluding others, and a particular cut may be sold in a number of different ways (e.g. chilled or frozen). When demand is higher than supply it is difficult to determine which order mix of cuts and sale type maximises profit.
The Biarri Meat Production Optimiser tool (Wolf) computes the optimal combination for you with a simple user interface and a powerful, cloud based optimisation engine behind it.
The problem to be solved
Many meat processors, including those handling large supermarket accounts and exports, are continually battling downward pressure on revenues. This ongoing challenge means there are always going to be shrinking margins if no action is taken. All too often the action is reactive decision making based on gut feel and subjectivity, rather than rigorous quantitative analysis based on data.
What customers have to say
The team at Biarri were quick to understand the variables within our planning process and have developed a platform that enables us to react to the moving market conditions with confidence.
How does it work?
The tool takes a number of inputs from market demands such as:
- Product
- Sell Price
- Estimated Demand Volume
- Committed (Minimum) Volume and more
as well as livestock information such as:
- Livestock Supplies
- Grade
- Estimated Weight
- Estimated Available Head
- Estimated Buy Price and more
and outputs optimised livestock purchases such as buy quantity by grade and an optimised production mix specifying production volume by product. Read more here.
