Research Tool

Development of tools and algorithms to automate current production planning approaches at BioMarin, and to optimize the parameters of those approaches.

The objective of this project is to develop a comprehensive selective maintenance model that considers multiple systems and allows for the planning horizon to expand and to incorporate important concepts such as component aging, imperfect maintenance, cannibalization and workforce shaping into the new selective maintenance models

This project integrates a three-dimensional bin packing problem and a mode selection problem in the international consolidation context. The objective is to minimize the total costs involved in the global supply chain, including ocean container costs, handling costs, Truckload (TL) and Less-than-truck (LTL) costs.
