Short shelf life, daily production, fast-moving inputs.
Daily production against tomorrow's orders, with inputs that go off in days and outputs that go off faster. Flour, butter and yeast move constantly; the standing wholesale order has to be met every morning regardless. Planning is short-horizon and repetitive, which sounds easier than it is. The volume of decisions is high even though each one is small.
Buying something designed for a twelve-week planning cycle when your entire horizon is thirty-six hours. Heavier systems are not better here; a simple recipe-and-batch tool that your morning team will use beats a capable one they route around.
