Brewing Up Efficiency at CCU Chilé

A Warehouse Managment Case Study by Blue Yonder

As Chilé’s largest brewery, Compañía Cervecerías Unidas S.A. (CCU) strives to optimize its warehouse operations so it can combine high service levels with profitability. The company delivers beer, soft drinks, wine and liquor to approximately 115,000 customers across Chilé. About 70% of these orders are fulfilled by CCU’s distribution center (DC) in Curauma.

The company embarked on a strategic initiative to make operations in this key warehouse more efficient. With support from Blue Yonder partner Southern Technology Group (STG Chilé), CCU implemented Blue Yonder’s warehouse management solution to manage all the day-to-day tasks being accomplished in this facility.

Challenges

• CCU Chilé was anticipating a 30% growth in order volume which would flow through their main DC in Curauma. They wanted to accommodate this growth with existing facilities and personnel.
• CCU Chilé wanted full control over all warehousing operations through a single technology solution to drive greater efficiency and throughput.
• CCU Chilé wanted to optimize its processes and use of personnel in order to improve its delivery speed and customer service.
