An Intelligent Decision System for Sustainable Food Production: Mitigating Waste via CVaR Stochastic Optimisation
摘要
We present an intelligent decision framework for sustainable manufacturing in a high throughput perishable meat factory. We address this challenge of food waste in a facility with a two-week turnover exceeding €1 million. We develop a risk aware stochastic linear program with hierarchical objectives: (i) satisfy demand, (ii) balance daily workload to limit labour volatility, and (iii) minimise environmental and economic waste using a Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) term calibrated from historical data. We analyse age-agnostic retrieval and age-aware retrieval warehouses and the impact on the production schedule. On retrospective industrial data, the proposed system reduces CVaR risk by
