Previous scenario
The Company needed to change a scenario composed of an excessive number of projects, with lack of prioritization, focus and defined processes, besides an excess of SKU’s (Inventory Maintenance Unit) released and little used. This led to the implementation of process management and a new R&D process which, in turn, generated the requirement of a tool which gave the necessary support.
The solution
To handle these challenges, BRF adopted SoftExpert Excellence Suite, a solution for enterprise-wide business processes automation, improvement, compliance management and corporate governance.
Alexandre Muterll, the Manager of Administration, Information and Processes of BRF emphasizes as some of the differentials of SoftExpert Suite the cost x benefit ratio and the low complexity of implementation compared with competing tools.
Results
According to Alexandre Muterll, the Manager of Administration, Information and Processes of BRF, with SoftExpert Excellence Suite, the Integrated Management of Projects and Processes of the company gained agility in both local and global processes, integrating a strategy of growth and market expansion, with added value and innovation.
Currently, the projects are integrated in the tool and control can be executed from anywhere, an important factor for the company which exports to 140 countries and has seven industrial units and 19 offices overseas.
A dynamic, modifiable and interactive portfolio of processes, lies at the heart of business identity for creating new products and
developing new markets. Today the vision is that it is impossible to work without it”, stresses Muterll
With the success of the tool in Brazil, SoftExpert Suite was also implemented in the R&D area in Argentina. Currently the R&D processes are managed in both countries, with approximately 1300 projects in execution and more than 30 thousand documents stored in the system.
“SoftExpert Suite is important in our Product Development process. Marketing aspects (such as brand strategy, market opportunity and price) and techniques (such as formulation, production capacity and availability of raw material) are managed in the system and afterwards discussed by the Critical Analysis Group (GAC)”, Cesar Eduardo Ribeiro, Project Office Coordinator, points out.
Next steps
The SoftExpert solution will also be implemented in the Middle East, industrial zone of KIZAD, in Abu Dhabi, the place where the Company has just inaugurated the largest processed food unit in the region. Furthermore, Muterll says that to the extent that BRF grows and increases its business overseas, or augments the quantity of units here in Brazil, it will be necessary to increase the number of licenses.
