Project Scope

Luvata experienced an increase in the complexity of their production process. More orders with a smaller average order quantity makes the utilization of the 25 ton master coils a more complex combinatorial problem. Also, to improve delivery performance, ensuring that the right amount of material is produced becomes increasingly important. Furthermore, whereas historically, the casting shop produced master coils to stock, it was recognized that the whole operation would benefit if all process steps were scheduled using a single optimizer, including the demand planning for the casting shop.
