Our project consists of optimizing the current facility layout for the safety and efficient movement of the operation teams in the yard. We are also evaluating the current on-hand inventory levels to ensure waste is being limited by stocking no more than what is needed. Our goal is to implement an optimization model that will help reduce waste on inventory and within that goal free up space in the yard. The project will be beneficial for New Braunfels Utilities’s new facility as once implemented can help with layout contributed space and on-hand inventory determination.
