🧠 How BRAINR helps adapt the daily production plan at a pig slaughter, clearing and processing center

Monday, 6:15 in the morning. Jorge, planning manager at a pig slaughter and processing center, enters the office. Even before the first pig enters the slaughter line, you need to know:

• How many animals will be admitted today?
• What courts are committed to orders?
• Is it produced for fresh, packaged or deep-frozen meat?
• Does the clearing have enough capacity in the afternoon shift?
• Have the purchase orders for packaging materials arrived yet?

With BRAINR, these questions are answered in a few clicks.

Planning that starts with the animal and ends with the final product

BRAINR works with complete master data — from the live animal to the final product: packaged entree, deep-frozen sirloin or fresh cutlets. When creating a new master plan (MPS), Jorge selects the sales orders that arrived from the ERP, the sales forecasts, the slaughter plans, and the pending purchase orders.

The system calculates everything in seconds:

• What is missing in stock to fulfill orders?
• What raw material is needed (carcasses, half carcasses or parts)?
• What capacity is there per line, work center, and shift?
• What products are intended for deep freezing and need to be prioritized?

When there are ruptures, the MRP enters

If there are cuts or missing products, Jorge enters the module of MRP. Based on the calculated needs, the system generates production suggestions:

• By type of product (ex: fevers, secrets, pimples)
• By destination (fresh, packaged, frozen)
• By production line (dismantling, transformation, packaging)
• Per shift

Jorge can validate or adjust the suggestions. With one click, it converts everything into real orders - which immediately descend to the factory floor.

Real capacity, not theoretical

BRAINR considers actual capacity per shift. If the transformation line is running on half gas because there are operators on vacation, the system adapts the plan. Nothing is just “pretty in Excel” — it's all part of the actual operation capacity.

GANTT with drag & drop: the plan lives and breathes

In the interactive GANTT, Jorge sees all the orders:

• 360 pigs slaughtered at 07:00
• Dismantle starting at 08:15
• Transformation for sausages at 10:30
• Packing for the X chain at 14:00

If the deep-frozen refrigerator is full, simply drag the order to another day. The system recalculates everything — raw materials, times, destinations, labels. Nothing is manual. Nothing remains unsynchronized.

And what happens next?

Orders enter the factory floor with everything defined: products, quantities, labels, destination, work sequence. The teams on the ground - with mobile apps - pick, record production, report breaks, adjust income, all in real time.

Jorge, in turn, follows the progress of the production up to the minute. If a clearing line is late, check it in the GANTT and you can redistribute the load. If a transformation order has a higher giveaway than expected, talk to the line manager before the deviation affects the customer.

Result?

• Higher freshness of the meat delivered
• Zero breakage in critical cuts
• Reduction of overproduction and waste
• Increased yield per animal
• Synchronization between slaughter, dismantling, transformation and shipment

Planning in BRAINR is not a static file. It's a intelligent decision center, powered by real data — from the animals to the final destination.
