Like many sector, the food manufacturing industry learned to expect unexpected things. The industry has experienced the first year of pure growth last three years, but the dynamic state of the world has created a new set of new tasks and opportunities. Taxes to tariffs, labor shortages, labor lacking in struggle, and efficiency are always the name of the game. According to Deloitte’s 2025 industry outlookNext year, we will challenge the manufacturer to promote growth beyond conventional price settings through alternative processes.
This applies to how food manufacturers especially watch their assets. Manufacturers need to process a variety of physical assets, from the life cycle of each asset to the repair schedule. The pen and paper process have been working in the past, but these teams have missed many different financial interests provided by technology. These tools provide insights that help food manufacturers prioritize assets, bring more efficient operations, and to lead to better and more aggressive financial decisions. Food manufacturers’ weapons have several important tools to make the most of their assets.
Maintenance management
Computed maintenance management systems (CMMS) are solutions that can help food manufacturers rationalize their businesses. In particular, in large -scale facilities with multiple devices, old pens and paper processes are not enough to respond to the requests of the facility. Orders, etc. CMMS improves the efficiency of food manufacturers by improving the operating time and productivity of the device, warning the team of preventive maintenance needs, and creating the trajectory of all scheduled work orders.
If food manufacturers can give priority to asset needs based on preventive maintenance schedules, they not only improve work order and inventory management, but also reduce assets downtime and contribute to the company’s financial savings. If the assets are operated as intended and the employees are shortening the time spent on correcting the problem, more products can be produced, resulting in saved maintenance funds. Improve and increase sales.
Active budget formation
In addition to the CMMS, the asset investment plan (AIP) is another tool that food manufacturers need to use to experience better financial performances. AIP can support tasks such as company CMMS, facility conditions evaluation, and collecting data from other sources, such as planning capital costs and developing active maintenance budgets. All of this information is your fingertips, and food manufacturers can focus on the development of aggressive, strategic budget and capital investment plan, which are rooted in data. This also helps the facility management team has a clear insight on maintenance costs related to each asset needs, which helps avoid unexpected budgets.
Asset priority ranking
Creating an aggressive budget will not only allow leaders throughout the department to meet the needs of food manufacturing facilities, but also contribute to the overall financial performance. If the leader of the manufacturer has insights on the life cycle and maintenance needs of each asset, which assets need to be repaired, need to be replaced, and that is more important, it is necessary. By explaining how much it is, you can actively plan your future costs. It costs money. By clearly understanding the needs of each asset, the organization can avoid unexpected financial burden. Because all budgets have been budgeted in advance, food manufacturers accurately explain the needs of facilities without the budget surpass or fall below the budget. Useful.
Thanks to the technology that tracks the maintenance of each asset and equipment and the order of work One company noticed that the same part of a specific device was replaced every 12 weeks, and lost money by downtime and continuous parts repair. Using this data, the manufacturing team determined that it is more expensive to purchase a new device than continuously replace the specific part. This seemed to be a lot of cost from the top of paper, but in the long term, replacing equipment is a better financial decision, and thousands of dollars in repair costs and equipment downtime. Showed you to save money.
2025 is an important year for the food manufacturing industry. In the food manufacturing industry, the old -fashioned profitable measurement value is not enough to maintain the competitiveness. Technology that enables more strategic use of smart and strategic organizational resources can help food manufacturers fill these issues from the front. These best practices allow companies to maximize their assets and prioritize existing investments to maximize their businesses. It’s time to make the efficiency of 2025 a technical and organized priority. Our business and industry depend on it.
