Client success story
SIMULATION AND MODELLING
CLIENT:
The challenge:
A large food manufacturer of ready meals was facing long lead times and inefficient resource utilisation.
Despite stable system structure, production scheduling was done intuitively, leading to bottlenecks and excessive waiting times.
The perceived cost by the business:
Long lead
times
Under utilised labour
Inventory congestion
The Solution:
LMAC deployed its Data Driven Optimisation framework integrated with Discrete Event Simulation to model the current production flow and test alternative control policies.
