Thousands of SKUs across modules, kits, colors and finishes; many made-to-order items; chained processes of cutting, machining, edge banding, painting and assembly; color-dependent paint setups; panel yield optimization; and purchased components (hardware, glass, handles) create a puzzle that spreadsheets and ERPs can no longer solve.
We combine sector experience and the robustness of Siemens solutions with the innovation of one of the fastest-growing Indtechs in the global Supply Chain Planning space.
Manufacturers of residential and corporate furniture, kitchens, upholstery and wood panels that chose Neo to orchestrate their production planning and/or detailed scheduling with S&OP and APS solutions.
Neo's solutions cover the most critical decisions in the furniture chain, connecting demand, inventory, capacity and detailed scheduling in a continuous cycle.

Statistical forecasting and commercial collaboration for continuous lines, new launches and commercial-date seasonality, handling a wide variety of models, colors and finishes and thousands of SKUs with AI/ML methods.
Inventory and replenishment policies for panels (MDF/MDP), hardware, glass, paint and components, semi-finished and finished goods, with ABC/XYZ segmentation and coverage tailored to MTS/MTO environments — reducing tied-up capital and obsolescence.
Distribution and transfer planning for multi-DC networks, retail, e-commerce, corporate projects and exports, with fair share and prioritization by order book and promised dates.
S&OP and finite capacity at the sector's real bottlenecks — cutting/panel saws, CNC machining, edge banding, painting and assembly — accounting for tooling and labor shared across dozens of resources.
Opcenter APS sequencing chained processes with color-dependent paint setup matrices, batch optimization and panel yield, synchronizing cutting, machining, edge banding, painting and assembly — reducing setups, changeovers, scrap, queues and WIP.
Fast, reliable rescheduling in response to machine breakdowns, rework, material delays and commercial priority changes, with scenario simulation, trustworthy promised dates and end-to-end shop-floor visibility.
Neo's experience with more than 120 projects, many of them publicly documented, is reflected in quantitative and qualitative results that help companies reach new levels of supply chain maturity. See some examples of what to expect for the sector:
Implementing these rules took the burden off the scheduler, bringing us closer to autonomous scheduling.

Standardized, scalable scheduling • Synchronization between cutting, machining, painting and assembly • More reliable promised dates • In discrete manufacturing, Neo has already delivered -15% setup (ZEN) and -98% order generation time (Induscabos)
