Food and beverage manufacturing units have complicated operational activities. On the one hand, you have this continuous production work going on in the manufacturing unit, and on the other hand, you have to manage inspections from food and drug regulators, admin tasks, suppliers, BOMs, inventory, logistics, and huge amounts of data too.

Other challenges will follow like managing machinery downtime and maintenance. You know how much you can lose per hour if your machines stop working abruptly.

Also, you will need quality checks for production. Any issue with production quality and you may get hounded by the food regulators. You have to take care of problems like food contamination, or maintaining appropriate nutritional values.

Then there are issues like how to create a system that can forecast demand fluctuations and prevent over-production or under-production. As food and beverages always come with an expiry tag, any surplus production will turn into a waste post expiry dates.

Lastly, you have to handle bills of materials, stock movement (in and out of production units/warehouses), and supplier relations.

While your organizations may hire talented management personnel, culinary managers, etc. it requires more than this to run a food and beverage manufacturing business efficiently. You will need an ERP system for the food and beverage industry to put everything in control and beat competitors.
