How Leprino Foods Built Its Own Production Planning Toolkit

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.
