The project, which will be implemented with the support of PwC, Blue Yonder’s strategic partner, promises to bring about a major digital transformation in the company’s production processes.
As one of PepsiCo’s key subsidiaries in China, Shanghai Pepsi-Cola plays a critical role in the development of the beverage sector within the country.

The primary objective of this project is to enhance the company’s production planning capabilities by improving efficiency, optimizing inventory management, and ultimately reducing operational costs. By utilizing Blue Yonder Production Planning, Shanghai Pepsi-Cola will be able to improve its production planning process, streamline inventory structures, and optimize inventory levels. These improvements will not only reduce production and delivery costs but will also enable the company to better meet the increasing demands of its business operations.
One of the most important benefits of Blue Yonder Production Planning is its ability to help Shanghai Pepsi-Cola navigate the complexities of modern supply chains. The solution will allow the company to factor in a wide range of constraints and respond quickly to shifts in demand or supply conditions. This capability will help the company create optimized, feasible production plans that balance demand with material availability, capacity constraints, and customer deadlines.
Moreover, Blue Yonder’s solution will allow Shanghai Pepsi-Cola to adapt its production plans in real time, responding to any changes or disruptions on the production floor. This dynamic approach to production planning ensures that the company can continually adjust its processes to meet shifting customer needs and market conditions.
The solution will also enhance the coordination of schedules across multiple facilities, helping to reduce excess inventory and minimize work-in-process. By streamlining operations, Shanghai Pepsi-Cola will be able to reduce equipment changeovers, increase plant efficiency, and create a more continuous flow of production. This will not only help cut down on waste but also contribute to the overall sustainability of the company’s operations.
In addition to these operational benefits, Blue Yonder’s Production Planning solution will enable Shanghai Pepsi-Cola to meet customer commitments more effectively. The solution balances various factors such as production schedules, material constraints, and workload distribution, ensuring that customer demands are met on time without overburdening production facilities or inventory systems.
The solution also offers enhanced flexibility, allowing Shanghai Pepsi-Cola to assess different production scenarios and adjust rules as necessary. This high degree of interactivity will empower the company to make more informed decisions, adapt quickly to changing conditions, and maintain a high level of operational control.

Ltd. is poised to increase efficiency, improve customer service, and reduce waste and costs across its production operations. With this solution, the company will be better equipped to meet the growing challenges of the beverage industry and maintain its competitive edge in the market.
