As a continuous improvement specialist, I can help optimize your factory's job scheduling to minimize makespan and enhance efficiency, using Excel or other advanced tools such as Python or Javascript.
Excel Solver: Excel can handle job scheduling with Solver to minimize the makespan. I'll define decision variables and constraints directly in the spreadsheet for a straightforward solution.
Python & Python for Excel: For more complex scenarios, I can use Python’s pulp library for linear programming, numpy for calculations, and pandas for data manipulation. Python for Excel can automate processes and integrate with your existing Excel files.
Data Analysis: I can also use Excel’s advanced features (pivot tables, Power Query, VBA) or Python’s visualization tools (Matplotlib, Plotly) to provide actionable insights from the optimization process.
Approach:
Modeling & Optimization: I'll model your problem, apply the best optimization method (Excel Solver, Python, or Javascript), and minimize the makespan while respecting all constraints.
With my expertise in continuous improvement, I can create an effective solution tailored to your needs. Let’s work together to enhance your factory’s productivity.
