Development of Production Planning Models

The Scotsburn Dairy Group produces over 300 ice cream products for many customers in a highly variable, seasonable market. Currently, no software packages exist in the market to help small to medium-sized dairies manage their production planning and scheduling. By working with Scotsburn, a production scheduling tool will be created which is tailored to the complex needs of a dairy production facility. This tool will help Scotsburn to plan their production efficiently and effective to make the most of the capacity and remain competitive.
