Blue Yonder Order Sequencing helps Shanghai PepsiCo balance complex demand and production constraints
Shanghai PepsiCo relied on manual analysis, experience, and intuition to manage complex production planning, but human planners were overwhelmed by the volumes of real-time data needed to balance demand, inventory, capacity, and supply chain constraints.
How it works
Common implementation structure
How this type of workflow is generally built, generalized across documented cases — not tied to any one vendor's stack. Click any stage to read what happens there. Specific products that implement these stages appear in “Tools commonly seen” below.
Stage 1 · Real-time data ingestion
Blue Yonder Order Sequencing ingests real-time data from across the supply chain.

Outcome
Shanghai PepsiCo achieved significant benefits, including reduced inventory investments, carrying costs, and production changeover expenses, while consistently achieving high order fill rate metrics and matching sales demand with product supply at a new level of precision and agility.
What failed first
Human planners could not successfully handle the complexity of real-time supply chain data at scale, making it impossible to create and continuously update an optimal production sequence.
