A Tauber team helped PepsiCo improve warehouse capacity planning across its bottling network. The team investigated bottlenecks, evaluated existing model inputs and assumptions, and developed an improved capacity model using operational observations and reporting data. The resulting approach supported more reliable space forecasts and better decisions about warehouse efficiency and infrastructure needs.
