FMCG & Packaged Food

Run the factory tighter: yield, batch and FEFO

Raw material comes in variable and perishable, and yield (oil extraction, milk-to-paneer, grinding recovery, sortex rejection, baking loss) swings batch to batch and rarely gets reconciled, so the gap is invisible. On top of that, weak batch coding and FEFO mean stock expires on the shelf or at the distributor and returns as an expiry claim.

Who has it

Packaged-food and snack manufacturers on oil extraction, grinding recovery and sortex rejection; beverage and dairy makers on milk-to-paneer and ghee yield; bakery, confectionery and ready-to-eat producers on baking loss and yield against an ultra-short clock. Not the depot and super-stockist, which does no making.

What we build

Per-batch input-output capture against the standard, flagging which lines, shifts or raw-material lots are causing the yield gap; proper batch and lot coding; a first-expiry-first-out dispatch rule; and a near-expiry alert so stuck stock is moved before it returns as an expiry claim. A write-off or recall goes to a named person with a full record.

What is automated, where AI helps, who signs off

Automation for the routine. A person on every decision that matters.

The reliable spine

The non-AI spine is the source-linked workflow: clean records, rules, calculations, integrations, exception queues, approvals and reporting for Run the factory tighter: yield, batch and FEFO.

Where AI helps

AI is limited to bounded reading, extraction, matching, clustering or drafting from the firm's own data for Run the factory tighter: yield, batch and FEFO; it never owns the number, the approval, the promise or the decision.

Who signs off

A named person signs off anything touching money, stock, a customer promise, a regulated filing, a payment, a price, a credit decision or a people decision.

What changes day to day

Yield becomes a number against standard instead of the plant head's gut; the lots, shifts and lines that drag it surface and get fixed; stuck stock moves before it expires into a claim.

Illustrative outcome

Recovery of yield lost against standard, plus less stuck stock returning as an expiry claim. Illustrative; final numbers come from your own data.
