Too many steaks, not enough burgers? Harris Ranch Beef needed a better way to accurately determine the correct balance of product types—to avoid shortfalls on some items and overages on others. The California beef producer was also looking to cut costs and reduce waste.

The family-owned business implemented Infor10 Advanced Planning and Infor10 Demand Planning. And the benefits began:

• Real-time data-driven statistical forecasting smoothed the product balance, making customers happier.
• Accurate materials projections made operations more cost-effective.
• System enhanced trim/cut optimization, reducing waste.
• Cost reductions saved at least three cents per pound.

"Infor solutions have enabled Harris Ranch Beef to significantly reduce costs through accurate materials projections," says Randall Dehart, IT Director, Harris Ranch Beef.
