Gurobi Releases New Case Study with Dairy Co-operative Fonterra

With help from Gurobi, Fonterra uses its new planning model to sustainably produce nearly a third of the world’s dairy exports.

BEAVERTON, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Gurobi Optimization, LLC, the leader in decision intelligence technology, today announced the release of a new case study that explores how Fonterra successfully tackles production planning challenges with Gurobi.

As a dairy co-operative owned by approximately 9,000 farmers, Fonterra is committed to sustainable farming practices. But being responsible for 30% of the world’s dairy exports while also trying to do right by the environment comes with its own set of challenges, particularly when it comes to planning.

Since dairy is a natural product, its composition varies each day. For example, one day the milk might have more fat than was forecasted. This means Fonterra must make choices every day for how to make the best use of the components.

As a result, their production plans must be robust and flexible. By turning to Gurobi, Fonterra can now solve these complex product mix challenges in about 60 seconds. Read the full case study.
