According to Bruce Barquist, General Mills’ director of finance, the
company has saved millions of dollars by readjusting manufacturing and
distribution networks.8 General Mills used advanced technology to
perform manufacturing network optimization, including evaluation of the
optimal size, number and location of manufacturing facilities. As a result,
General Mills discovered that they could operate more efficiently by
reducing their number of manufacturing plants from eight to four. On a
more tactical level, General Mills began applying network optimization to
determine when and in what quantities specific plants should produce
certain products.
