Alpro’s journey toward supply chain excellence

 Alpro’s journey towards supply chain excellence

In recent years, plant-based foods producer Alpro has made significant progress in making its supply chain more efficient, systematically taking advantage of the newest insights and solutions in supply chain planning. Achievements include accurate capacity-constrained optimization of overall equipment effectiveness, shorter throughput times leading to increased freshness and increased sales.

The ability to have quarantined products transported without losing track and to more accurately link forecasting with order and sales data are also positive outcomes. The most recent step forward is the creation of a true S&OE, connecting tactical and operational planning levels. “We now see our tactical decisions reflected in the production and logistics data,” says Alpro project manager Peter Decroos with some pride.

 

About Alpro

Alpro has been a pioneer in plant-based food in Europe for almost 40 years. The company is well known for its highly-regarded range of plant-based products, which include delicious alternatives to yoghurt and cream, desserts, margarines and ice cream, all made from non-GM soya, almonds, hazelnuts, cashews, rice, oats or coconut.

Part of the Danone group, Alpro has its head office in Ghent (Belgium) and three production facilities in Belgium, France and the United Kingdom. Marketing its products in Europe and beyond under the Alpro® and Provamel® brands, the company continues to make a significant contribution to the remarkable rise in interest in foods derived from plants.
