TREND & RISK MANAGEMENT IN FOOD PRODUCTION
Countering trends and risks as a food producer with security
Today, companies in the food and beverage industry are confronted with a growing number of risks and trends that increasingly have to be dealt with in parallel and with a short time horizon. The particular challenge is therefore not only to identify the key developments at an early stage, but also to translate them quickly and precisely into concrete action programs.
EFESO supports companies in developing structures, systems and processes that enable them to make and implement the right decisions under high strategic pressure:
- Organization of risk management: development of a robust organizational and control structure as well as a KPI system for integrated and agile risk management.
- Risk assessment: implementation of due diligence processes for risk identification in mergers and acquisitions and assessment of sustainability risks for integrated programs.
- Early detection: use of AI-supported, data-based early warning systems to identify trends and risks at an early stage and derive targeted measures. Increase transparency throughout the entire supply chain by using innovative solutions such as supply chain towers and digital process twins.
- Increasing resilience: strategic alignment of the network with regard to key long-term trends and implementation of active risk management; flexibilization and increasing the adaptability of resources and processes.

CASE STUDIES - PRACTICAL EXAMPLES
Lean development in R&D
Innovation impulses for lighting designers. The LED revolution has made many business models obsolete, while the wave of digitization and the associated technological change have increased the pace of change by a factor of X. To keep pace here, agile working methods are necessary not only in manufacturing, but also in R&D. Lean methods can prove particularly helpful - but can they be transferred 1:1 from manufacturing to development?
Digital Process Twin: Process optimization through Predictive Quality and Predictive Production
An automotive supplier improved the transparency of work and organizational processes in a production plant for dashboards. With a "Digital Process Twin" from EFESO, the company reduced the reject rate and made improvement potentials in its value creation networks visible.
Lean Digital Manager
Shaping the factory of the future with Lean 4.0. How can lean principles be combined with the technologies and possibilities of networked digitization in value creation networks? By further qualifying employees to become decision-makers. The EFESO certification program for "Lean Digital Manager" shows how digitalization of lean production works. To do this, it combines strategies with Industry 4.0 technologies.
Stabilize Processes and Reduce Costs
A mechanical engineering company is redesigning its process landscape: A manufacturer of machine systems and special machines has already achieved a high level of automation in its production processes. The company is now targeting further, cross-departmental goals for process automation. Together with EFESO, it defines fields of application in the Operations area in which Robot Process Automation (RPA) tools should save time.

Sustainable Products
Whether it is lower energy consumption of production machines in standby mode or shorter distances in logistics: Even small changes can significantly improve the overall sustainability balance of a product.
Digital transformation in the food industry
The EFESO case study describes how a confectionery manufacturer is expanding its competitive position with a comprehensive digitalization initiative. With EFESO, it is expanding the successes already achieved by its WCOM (*World Class Operations Management) program in the direction of highly digitalized production.
OPEX / WCOM for brewery group
An international brewery group achieved significant OEE improvements in a WCOM pilot project with EFESO. EFESO's case study describes how this success was continued throughout the company's global value network, leading to improvements and savings.
Cushioning cost pressure with energy management
A dairy group identifies the topic of energy efficiency as a lever to cushion cost pressure from falling production volumes. The case study explains, how the company determines with EFESO suitable starting points for one of its plants. The potential of the measures in terms of possible energy savings, their CapEx and their amortization are specifically quantified.
On the road to digital excellenz
The EFESO case study describes how a chocolate manufacturer started its digital transformation with EFESO. The goal: to activate potential in production and logistics to increase efficiency. The project team laid the foundations for this with a group-wide digitalization strategy and a roadmap for its implementation in several plants around the world.
Future Factory F&B
A dairy company is continuing its success story with a clear vision: After times of war and factory fires, it is building the most technologically advanced "Future Factory" in its region. With EFESO, the company is developing a concept for the factory, which is to be built on 70,000 square meters by 2030 - and is combining this planning with a digitization/Industry 4.0 initiative for ongoing production
