Labeyrie Fine Foods, a €250M gourmet frozen and chilled foods business, deployed QAD DynaSys Demand Planning and Production Planning to manage 600+ SKUs with short shelf lives, heavy seasonality, and promotions. The solution centralized forecasting, enabled finite-capacity MPS, and linked demand to procurement and production. Results include 2.2-point service-level gain, 50% inventory reduction, and 62% less waste while supporting S&OP across the Labeyrie Fine Foods Group.

Key takeaways

Forecast accuracy reached 85% despite promotions and 52% seasonal turnover concentration.

Customer service level improved 2.2 points to 99% with finite-capacity production scheduling.

Inventory levels fell 50% and waste dropped 62% through better shelf-life and working-capital control.

Twice-daily demand updates and five-week MPS horizon replaced manual planning and reduced shortages.

Solution integrated with JD Edwards ERP and scaled to other group BUs for group-wide S&OP.
