Internal delivery planning of materials at the tile plant of Struyk Verwo Infra

This research was performed at the tile manufacturing plant of Struyk Verwo Infra in Dordrecht. The plant wants to decrease the Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by eliminating several causes for downtime of the production machines. This research focuses on minimising the waiting for material at the machine by implementing an improved planning algorithm. Using an MILP approach we present a planning algorithm that can almost eliminate all waiting time caused by poor planning.
