Heuristic and LP based master production scheduling with familiar excel based interface.
An efficient Linear Programming (LP) solver is used as a subroutine to optimize the master production schedule on aggregate level and component level.
Additionally, an internal company decision heuristic was adapted as an initial approach as a proof of concept and increasing user acceptance through familiarity. This then served as an excellent benchmark for showcasing the quality of the LP solver solutions.
Grounded in research but with a focus to get to actionable results fast, we iterate quickly with the client on these kinds of problems to get the use case correctly defined, data requirements and limitations scoped early and initial results evaluated for their practical implementation potential.
We meet the client where he needs support. In this case, an excel-based tool gets the job done. Then, we deliver and do not push for tools with features that won't get used and only adds to the complexity where advanced manufacturing environments suffer from.
Planning tool that optimizes an MPS in seconds.
Now, one interactive meeting with relevant stakeholders to brainstorm alternative scenarios with near-immediate impact assessment eliminating hours of tedious calculations and back and forth communication over scenarios.
