Damate expects to receive additional profit in the amount of up to 61 million rubles per year due to more accurate planning of orders. The company has completed the development and implementation of a project on mathematical modeling of sales. This is stated in the company's message.
An automated IT solution based on a mathematical model and machine learning allows you to predict sales and balance product orders. Investments in the project amounted to 35.5 million rubles.
The automated production planning system includes 2 blocks. The first is the forecasting unit, the purpose of which is to build an optimal demand forecast and production plan for the short term, taking into account limited production capacities and live weight volumes. The mathematical model for constructing a high-precision demand forecast includes algorithms for analyzing many factors, including: order history, plans for new products and customers, current orders and promotions.
The second is a balancing unit for selecting the optimal cutting percentages, taking into account possible restrictions on raw materials, production and packaging capacities in each echelon for maximum confirmation of customer orders/forecasts according to priorities.
Prior to the launch of the project, sales forecasts in Damat were made manually by specialists and did not take into account many factors. Their accuracy was not high enough, and production was often underutilized, the efficiency and quality of balancing orders did not meet the company's needs at the current stage of development. In addition, in the presence of real orders, the task arose to determine priorities, which of them should be accepted and to what extent satisfied. At the same time, it was necessary to compare the importance of the client, marginality and profitability of orders.
