Duvel Moortgat is a family business with a strong focus on specialty beers, which includes the brands Duvel, Vedett, 't IJ, La Chouffe, De Koninck, Liefmans and Maredsous. The company has grown from a local brewery to a global player with 10 production sites, including in Belgium, the U.S. and the Czech Republic. It also has several sales sites in France, the U.K., China and Spain. This steady growth, added to the seasonal nature of beer production and the unpredictability caused by the coronavirus pandemic, made it clear that planning the production process via Excel had reached its limits. Duvel required a more professional production and scheduling solution.

Infor was chosen because of its extensive knowledge and experience in planning and scheduling in the brewing world. Now that the demand planning software has been installed, the scheduling tool is also added and linked to form a complete solution. Duvel now has software that is effective in both the long term and the short term for insight into the production process.

"A brewery is one of the most complex production companies. It is vital to reduce the complexity of our operations and maintain control over our production. Infor's strategic planning and scheduling applications enable us to grow," says Dirk Waterschoot, Duvel Moortgat's manager for production planning and purchasing raw materials. "In addition to its solid solutions, Infor offers a consistent reliable collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of consultants. We look forward to the introduction of the scheduling tool."

Its ability to simultaneously schedule tanks and production lines, and to deal with complex routing, labor and resource constraints, results in higher equipment usage, reduced changeovers, and increased throughput," said Ernst Stegwee, Infor's account manager in the Netherlands. "This makes it easy to optimize resources and maximize capacity. We are pleased that this solution will help contribute to the growth of a great brewery like Duvel."
