A vast product portfolio with regional specialization and constant disruptions can complicate lifecycle management, collaboration and supply chain continuity for consumer-packaged goods (CPG) companies.
That’s why Century Pacific Food, one of the leading food companies in the Philippines, has chosen to digitally transform its supply chain with Blue Yonder Demand and Supply Planning, part of Blue Yonder’s AI-driven Cognitive Solutions.
With an expanding product portfolio and a drive to accelerate digital transformation, CNPF turned to Blue Yonder for a solution that would optimize inventory and sharpen demand and supply forecasts, ensuring resilience even in times of disruption.

Act with machine speed and precision thanks to AI agents: By utilizing Blue Yonder’s Inventory Ops Agent, CNPF aims to see, analyze, decide, and act with machine speed and precision, even amid disruptions.
Unify supply and demand planning: CNPF may be able to harmonize its supply chain activities by aligning planners through a shared planner workspace. This drives collaboration, increases planner productivity, and optimizes resource use.
Accelerate decision-making with predictive insights: Intelligent planner workflows and event-based planning enable supply chain planners to act swiftly, resolve issues, and achieve key business goals.
Adapt rapidly to global changes with scenario planning: With robust scenario analysis, the solution may be able to test and explore options, effectively answering any ‘what-If” questions, and make strategic planning decisions.
Reduce costs and boost inventory turnover: By staging inventory strategically across the supply chain using dynamic segmentation and multi-echelon inventory optimization, CNPF may be able to unlock opportunities to reduce operational costs and waste, as well as enhance inventory turnover across the supply chain.
