Atlantic Coffee Solutions Case Study
Today, Atlantic Coffee maintains 1.4 million square feet of facilities; the world’s largest natural decaffeination plant; the only fully integrated private-label instant coffee manufacturing operation in North America; 11 roasting lines; 22 packing lines; 45 grinding lines, all supplied from the leading coffee port in the world, the Port of Houston, home to Atlantic Coffee.
When Atlantic Coffee acquired Kraft’s Maxwell House facility in Houston, they quickly discovered a production scheduling challenge in efficiency standards between its existing facilities and the acquisition. Atlantic Coffee had planned to upgrade its own planning and scheduling software, so the time was right for Jaime Ozuna, Atlantic’s Production Scheduler, to source a heavyweight platform provider. PlanetTogether emerged the winner out of a three company competition.
