Food & Beverage

In an industry where survival forces you to implement so many changes so quickly, the risks of making mistakes are enormous. How can you make changes with the certainty they’ll achieve their intended results?  Hundreds of food & drink companies have turned to Lanner for answers.

Many of the world’s most prominent food and beverage companies rely on WITNESS to help improve their profitability, including General Mills, Mars, Cadbury Trebor Bassett, Coors Brewers, Masterfoods, Campbell’s, Coca-Cola, Bakkavor, Kellogg’s, Kraft, Scottish & Newcastle, Diageo, Golden Wonder and Nestlé.

One of the strengths of WITNESS is its flexibility. This makes it ideally suited for use in the food & drink industry, where manufacturing, packaging, distribution, and retail involve such diverse processes.  Another reason why WITNESS is so dominant in process industries is its ability to simulate both continuous and discrete event processes.

Lanner customers have used WITNESS to address operational issues in such areas as:

• raw materials processing
• intermediate storage sizing
• product packaging capacity
• supply chain logistics
• facilities layout

These companies also report improved confidence in decision making, better communication of recommendations and team integration, and faster buy-in to proposed changes.
