Creating a production planning tool that enables a 4x expansion of oven capacity
Challenge
TommyTomato, a school lunch supplier, faced problems with manually planning their meal-warming process.
The task involved optimizing workers, ovens, meal quantities, and delivery times, leading to errors and resource waste. Additionally, TommyTomato struggled with conflicting priorities: minimizing lead time versus optimizing oven usage.
Solution
BitHero collaborated with TommyTomato’s leadership to develop a digital solution. We created three algorithms with different optimization goals. This way, hub managers have maximum flexibility.
Our one-click tool optimizes the oven planning, integrates with Slack and Google Drive, and scales easily. Our solution enhances production floor efficiency and flexibility.
Outcome
BitHero’s tool transformed TommyTomato’s operations, reducing hub managers’ planning time by 50% and standardizing processes.
The scalable solution allowed easy hub expansion, reduced lead time by 20%, increased oven productivity by 40%, and ensured feasible planning, eliminating discrepancies between planned and actual worker activities. Our tool enabled a significant (4x) increase in the number of ovens used.
