The issue
A potato chip company wants to improve two important KPIs,
processing costs and
recovery rate (bags of potato chips per 100 lbs of potatoes), and in the process reduce their cost structure and improve profitability
Typical approach
Company executives have continuously improved processing efficiency and reduced costs and waste. Additional meaningful gains are more difficult to achieve.
The solution
Partner with the farmers to grow potatoes with attributes that reduce processing costs and increases recovery rate.
Implement
Applies data and science to identify the linkages between the growing conditions such as field conditions, practices, inputs, timing, and storage with outcomes including processing efficiency and recovery rate.
The linkages between growing conditions and outcomes are captured in a model that is used to:
Select fields with the highest probability of growing potatoes with the desired outcomes
Predict, Score, analyze performance
Identify field specific action to improve outcomes
