🥗 The magic of BRAINR planning in Ready Meals & IV Gama

Imagine this: Monday, 8:15 in the morning, and Vítor, planning manager of the IV Gama FreshFoods factory, already has 14 new orders flashing in the ERP. Customers like Continente, El Corte Inglés, and two hotel shopping centers want delivery on Wednesday. The problem? Nobody knows yet if there is enough raw material, if it needs to be transformed, if we have free lines - or worse, if there will be ruptures.

This is where BRAINR comes in.

🧠 Intelligent planning: from finished product to animal origin

With the module of Master Production Plan (MPS), Vítor doesn't have to open 20 excesses or ask the warehouse for reports. Just create a new plan with the orders that came from the ERP, choose the date, click “Calculate” - and within seconds BRAINR answers:

• Do you have enough stock?
• If you don't have it, what do you have to produce?
• Will you be able to complete everything in time?

And the magic doesn't stop there. BRAINR immerses itself in master data - from the final product, through the semifinals, raw materials, to the animals themselves, if appropriate. In other words, if a menu lacks Russian salad, the system knows if there are baby carrots, peas, tuna, and couvettes available. And if there isn't, the MRP comes on the scene.

⚙️ MRP that thinks for you (and acts with you)

After identifying the ruptures, Vítor moves on to the module of Production Needs Plan. One click, and BRAINR transforms these ruptures into proposed production orders — organized by line, shift, and date.

And we're not just talking about suggestions. With a click, these proposals become real orders: slaughter, transformation, packaging — all orchestrated and sent in real time to the equipment on the factory floor.

🕓 Interactive GANNT: visual planning with drag-and-drop

As orders are approved, BRAINR automatically draws a GANTT chart. Here, managers can:

• Rearrange orders with drag-and-drop
• Anticipate bottlenecks
• Simulate replanning scenarios

All of this in an interface designed for humans, with the best UX in the industry. And always with the right context: line capacity, active shifts, shipping windows and even days of shelf-life.

📉 Less waste, more freshness, earlier decisions

This approach brings immediate gains for those who work in IV Gama or Ready Meals:

• Only what is necessary is produced: less standing stock, less freshness breaks.
• Automatic synchronization with shipments, ensuring timely deliveries.
• Planning and production work in harmony.
• Ability to react immediately to deviations.

Sara, production manager at FreshFoods, can't imagine everyday life without BRAINR. At 9:30am, log in to the Packaging Production Orders and you already know everything you need to prepare for the next two days - with the automatically generated labels, and the information about performance, breaks or deviations available in RealScripts DE DEMO time.

📌 Conclusion

In the fast and sensitive world of IV Gama and Ready Meals, where the shelf life is short and retail pressure is immense, BRAINR transforms planning into applied intelligence. With integrated MPS, MRP and GANTT - and a vision that goes from the finished dish to the origin of the animal - what was once chaos, today is control.

And the best? You don't have to be an engineer to use it.
