Confident decision making and improved throughput for cereal manufacturing with simulation

Kellogg Company needed to rationalize its area manufacturing capacity. A significant portion of the production was moved between Kellogg manufacturing plants. Simulation played an important role in two facets of this project. First, it helped determine if the proposed engineering changes would pick up the slack in production lost due to idling of assets. Second, simulation was used to develop line management setpoints for increasing the output from the installed capacity
