This webinar, hosted by the AFGC in partnership with RELEX, will show how food and beverage manufacturers can better navigate one of the most complex planning environments in industry, balancing shelf life, allergens, batch constraints, volatile demand, and frequent supply disruptions. Despite this complexity, many organisations still rely on spreadsheet-driven planning processes that struggle to react quickly and consistently.

In this webinar, we explore how autonomous planning is reshaping short-term execution planning in food and beverage manufacturing. You’ll learn why traditional planning approaches fall short, how long frozen planning horizons create reactivity on the factory floor, and how autonomous planning enables faster, more reliable decisions by continuously responding to real-time demand, supply, and capacity changes without constant manual intervention.

What you’ll gain:

·         A clear understanding of what autonomous planning means in a food and beverage context

·         Insight into why traditional planning struggles with short-term volatility

·         How shorter planning horizons improve responsiveness and factory stability

·         The role of digital twins and automated decision-making in execution planning

·         Practical takeaways for reducing firefighting while improving service levels and efficiency
