What is Blue Yonder Manufacturing Planning for Consumer Industries?

Manufacturing Planning for Consumer Industries converts volatile, promotion-driven demand into feasible production plans. It models recipes/BOMs, yields, allergens, shelf life, and changeovers, then optimizes lot sizes and sequencing to hit service and freshness targets at minimum cost. Planners can simulate promo spikes, supplier delays, or capacity moves (extra shifts, alternate lines) and choose the plan that protects OTIF while reducing waste. Plans flow to detailed scheduling and execution, keeping plants, DCs, and retailers synchronized.
