The number of harvester operators who pick the shiraz grapes to make Jacob's Creek wine.

CSIRO developed an 'adaptive supply network' to co-ordinate the many growers, harvesters and transport companies in the supply chain for Orlando-Wyndham's top-selling wines.

The network leads to more collaborative decisions, more flexible planning, better communications and improved delivery.

Dr Simon Dunstall says that the maths behind logistics and scheduling can help people in different businesses and industries to do things in better ways.
