This project has aimed to uncover inefficiencies at Niagara Bottling by taking a more holistic approach to the problem of optimizing transportation processes across Niagara’s facilities. The Harvey Mudd team has investigated potential cost-reduction measures through the application of operations research and statistical methods. The end goal of this project has been to optimize total supply chain costs across facilities as well as provide invaluable business insights to Niagara.
