Abstract:This research was conducted at the McCain facility in Lelystad. The research aimed to develop a method for tracking cutting area performance during production and supporting operators in their decision-making. A Monte Carlo simulation approach was used to determine key performance indicators (KPIs) relevant for operators' decision-making. The simulation was also used to identify the knife configuration that minimizes volume losses for each potato width, showing improvements compared to the current setup.
