Abstract:

Swift & Company uses an integrated system of 45 linear-programming models based on three model formulations to dynamically schedule its beef-fabrication operations at five plants in real time as it receives orders. This scheduling application resulted in documented improvements in key metrics, such as order fulfillment, on-time delivery, and the percentage of a week's scheduled production for which there are existing orders. The application enabled Swift & Company to execute its business strategy and obtain a 200 percent return on investment in its first year of production.
