The Problem
This brewery needs to reduce shipping costs and yet still deliver its entire beer order on time and without any shipment delay. A single customer may receive 10 or more shipments a week. Considering the variety of beer labels and packaging types, there are many different products that are produced on the same production line at various times during the week. A customer’s shipment thus needs to be built in such a way that the products are combined into a single shipment when running on production lines at the same time, or nearly the same time.
