Watch: Raw Materials, Bills of Materials and the End of Packaging Blind Spots

The roast is perfect. Orders are queued. And someone tells you the roastery is out of 250g bags, not almost out, out, with a 14-day supplier lead time. The result is an emergency shipment at a premium and a day of lost fulfilment, over a problem that had nothing to do with the coffee.

In the closing session of the Beyond the Roast series, Product Manager Ellis Cookson demos the answer live: a raw materials catalogue that tracks bags, labels, valves and consumables with reorder points and lead times, and Bills of Materials that give every product variant a recipe, so the question “do we have everything to fulfil this order” gets answered before packaging starts, not during it.

In this session you will see:

• The raw materials catalogue with live stock levels and low stock signals
• How reorder points and lead times flag problems while there is still time to act
• Bills of Materials connecting raw materials to every finished product variant
• What is live now in Advanced Planning and what is coming next, including proactive purchasing suggestions
