Hear how Lep­ri­no Foods, the world’s largest pro­duc­er of lac­tose, built and imple­ment­ed a com­bi­na­tion of heuris­tics in var­i­ous sequences to max­i­mize pro­duc­tion capac­i­ty, bal­ance sup­ply and demand, com­bine orders for like prod­ucts, and resched­ule orders for­ward and back­ward seam­less­ly. Get a first­hand look at how the PP/DS heuris­tic frame­work can be lever­aged to cre­ate cus­tom heuristics.

Key take­aways:

• Learn how to design and imple­ment a flex­i­ble resched­ul­ing heuris­tic that enables resched­ul­ing para­me­ters to be changed with­out addi­tion­al development.
• Find out how to devel­op and imple­ment a push-pro­duc­tion heuris­tic for cre­at­ing orders for down­stream prod­ucts (mul­ti- and sin­gle-lev­el) based on vary­ing criteria.
• Obtain the tech­niques to build and imple­ment an adjust­ment heuris­tic to ana­lyze sup­ply and demand of lim­it­ing com­po­nents and to adjust orders to bal­ance com­po­nent usage.
