Multi-level production planning for multi-location chemical company

We investigate the decision-making process at a chemical company which is a major soda manufacturer having three production facilities in different countries. The company is one of the top ten largest soda producers in the world and serves as a major supplier to the global market with sales to over 50 countries. Complex sales and operation structures of company require synchronization of optimized decisions. Our study focuses on optimizing decisions from various levels which are strategic, tactical, operational and synchronizing them within and among organizations. In order to reach this purpose, we designed an integrated solution platform based on various optimization models. We fully implemented and deployed the solution platform, which has been used since 2020.
