Case Study: Horizon Organic achieves millions in projected supply chain savings with AIMMS

How Horizon Organic is Optimizing Its Supply Chain Network with AIMMS SC Navigator

Horizon Organic, North America’s largest organic milk supplier, needed to rebuild its supply chain after separating from Danone while still meeting contractual obligations and managing seasonal supply, demand, and rising hauling costs. To do this, Horizon Organic worked with AIMMS SC Navigator to redesign its network, evaluate warehouse and production locations, and improve both strategic and tactical planning.

AIMMS implemented SC Navigator so Horizon Organic could run scenario models, analyze center-of-gravity warehouse options, and optimize production, inventory, and sourcing decisions across multiple time periods. The results include a more efficient network, expanded operations in Indiana, reduced use of high-cost sites, and projected savings of millions over the next two years, while also lowering transportation and milk hauling costs.
