Fine Food Meat, the largest meat-processing company in Belgium and a member of Colruyt Group, cuts, processes and packages poultry, beef, veal and pork and also takes care of salads and vegetarian products. Previously, Fine Food Meat used a number of custom built applications to support their business needs.

However, as the company has a steady grow, these applications became insufficient to fulfill the requirements in terms of traceability, procurement, warehouse management, costing & invoicing, ... That's why Fine Food Meat decided to make the transition to an industry specific MES - Manufacturing Exection System - for both its existing plant as well as a newly constructed plant. As this application had to be configured from scratch, multiple analysts participated in the implementation project. My focus was on costing, production workflows, master data and business intelligence. This included:

• Analysing business & system requirements, for example for internal operations and outside services
• Configuring the MES solution to support business processes and to optimize the usability
• Defining master data such as bill of materials, cutting plans, cost centers, ... for different processes
• Setting up a costing system to determine the direct cost of products as well as stock value, sales price, ...
• Create costing reports such as production efficiency for converging and diverging production
• Create and execute test cases in HP ALM for system testing, regression testing, ...
• Increase knowledge of coaches and key users through trainings and provide operational support
