Simplot's ERP/MES Implementation Improves Production Control, Reduces Inventory
BOISE, IDAHO -- As the development of programmable logic controllers (PLCs) matured in the 1980s, their growing functionality gave birth to an important strategic idea at food giant J.R. Simplot Company: using information technology to mirror the production environment for more effective operations control. "Extrapolating what we observed in the use of PLCs, we came to believe that there would be a time in the near future when we could mirror our production environment through computers," said William Friend, Group Vice President, Supply Chain Management and Information Systems, at J.R. Simplot's Food Group. "If we could mirror our operations in a computer, we could simulate our processes -- and then predict outputs and costs before production runs were made."
