As BMW’s 8 million sq. ft. Spartanburg facility continues to expand, managing traffic flow across campus has become increasingly complex. Queue build-ups and variability in traffic patterns are causing production delays, while inefficiencies in trailer movements and yard operations further contribute to congestion.

Our project aims to analyze and mitigate these traffic flow issues in their body shop by identifying congestion points, reducing variability in queueing, and improving delivery times. By focusing on key problem areas such as driver assignment logic, yard utilization, and delivery prioritization, we will develop solutions that increase system resilience and support BMW’s long-term expansion goals.
