Big data and web analytics are creating new demand opportunities, and help operations meet growing global regulatory standards. Very often, my work also involves helping online retailers improve operations.

Optimizing Container Loads For Assorted Products
1. Group products with similar packaging, by way of cartons/boxes on a pallet together. This facilitates some flexibility in mixing.
2. Get historical demand for different SKUs and divide it by the number of pallets required.
3. Adjust pallets ordered at a time to fill a container load and have the same frequency of order a year
