Abstract

General Electric’s Renewable Energy business used to manually make annual sourcing and logistics plans to procure wind turbine towers from suppliers across the world and deliver them to customer sites. This process was time-consuming, cumbersome, suboptimal, and increased the cost of fulfilling customer demands. We developed an algorithm and a software tool to generate near-optimal towers’ sourcing and logistics plans, which minimized the total direct material and logistics costs incurred.
实践摘要:通用电气公司优化风力涡轮机塔架采购和物流业务
通用电气的可再生能源业务过去每年都要手动制定采购和物流计划,从世界各地的供应商处采购风力涡轮机塔架,并将其运送到客户现场。这一过程耗时、繁琐、不理想,而且增加了满足客户需求的成本。我们开发了一种算法和软件工具,用于生成近乎最优的塔架采购和物流计划,从而最大限度地降低了直接材料和物流总成本。
