OptiProfit - Carcass Optimizer
The Carcass Value Optimization Process
OptiProfit - Carcass Optimizer provides
optimal carcass fabrication solutions for
packers. Our Carcass Optimizer analyzes the
subprimals of each carcass type by weight,
yield grade, quality grade, and sex/breed
while simultaneously analyzing current
pricing. It then identifies the combination
of subprimals that represents the greatest
value for that particular type of carcass.
The Carcass Optimizer also uses incremental
cost-of-fabrication and other expenses
related to specific cuts as part of its
optimal solution analysis, providing the
most complete optimization possible.
Creating a Value Optimized Production
Plan
Knowing the most valuable fabrication for
specific types of carcasses is only half of
the solution in deriving the greatest amount
of value from a carcass. A production plan
must be created for available carcasses that
meets the requirements of forward sales,
limits the production of excess product, and
minimizes the number of changes in
fabrication.
Carcass Optimizer combines the optimum
carcass fabrications, the carcasses
available for fabrication, and forward sales
and inventory data and produces a production
plan than retains the greatest value across
all carcasses. It does this by ordering
these carcasses, inside of these
constraints, to provide the greatest value.
For example, an 825 pound choice steer
carcass can be used to fab either a Top Butt
Center Cut (184) or a Boneless Top Butt
Center Cut (184B). The optimum value is in
fabricating the 184 rather than the 184B
but, if there are forward sales that require
the fab of 184B then the optimum carcass
type to use would result in a gain of $8 per
carcass versus a less optimum carcass type.
These value opportunities exist throughout
the creation of the production plan process
across the various carcass types.
Expected Profit Gains
Using Carcass Optimizer typically results in
a profit improvement of from $50 to $100 per
carcass, depending on current pricing,
forward sales, and product demand.
Using Carcass Optimization with Forward
Sales
Determining what products to sell on a
forward basis and the appropriate product
pricing is a difficult process. Less than
optimum decisions can result in a
significant loss of potential value. Carcass
Optimizer allows you to determine the
profitability of forward sales by combining
future pricing with the expected carcass
types that will be available at the time of
order fulfillment. This allows your sales
staff to focus on forward sales of those
subprimals providing greatest value.
