Problem

Barilla Group, the makers of Barilla brand pastas and sauces, wanted to provide consumers with the ability to trace the chain of production — from where food for ingredients is grown to the product on the store shelf.

Michele Festuccia, systems engineer manager for Cisco Italia, says Barilla desired the ability to access data and decisions crossing multiple organizations and functions. “The solution is to have a real-time, updated picture of the full supply chain in order for Barilla to maintain awareness over the entire process, system complexity, and to predict the effects of every decision on each individual stage of the industrial process,” he explains.
