Pick Belt Capacity Optimization Project

Frito Lay Western Canada (PepsiCo Foods Canada) has two Alberta manufacturing facilities that are located 45 minutes apart. The Lethbridge facility produces corn-based products and operates as the hub for warehousing and distribution. The Taber facility produces potato-based products and directly ships finished goods to Lethbridge for warehousing and distribution.Due to business growth in the last three years, the Lethbridge warehouse has run out of capacity on the pick belt (full case picking) resulting in more walk back locations and less efficient order picking.The main goal of this project is to analyze the performance of PepsiCo’s pick belt from a product allocation perspective and identify what and when they should store on the pick belt. By the end of this project, it is expected to have developed a mathematical model that determines the optimal product allocation and scheduling of the pick belt, along with recommendations on other suitable solutions to support business growth.
