Question: How can I determine the best product mix for my bottom line?

Answer: Use MAVERICK’s meat block optimization tool to guide your business decisions.

Meat Block Optimization: Optimize Your Product Mix and Your Profit Margin

There is one best way to process every animal, but figuring it out is often the one hardest part of the business. Each animal’s age, live weight and weight distribution affect your decision — as do current market conditions. Managing these variables is the key to determining your ideal product mix as well as your potential profit.

To help meat and poultry processing plants make the best decisions for their businesses, MAVERICK Technologies has developed a special meat block optimization software program. The program helps you analyze and plan your product mix, incorporating all the different production constraints within your unique facility. With this tool you can, for example, predict piece size based on incoming live weights. You can then use this information to maximize your profit margin.

At MAVERICK, we draw upon our vast expertise in chicken, turkey, pork and beef processing to configure and implement a solution for your needs. No other tool in the marketplace offers such a complete range of benefits for producers in this industry — and you can only get it from MAVERICK.
