Portfolios with thousands of SKUs, routings with 15 or more operations, ETO and make-to-order environments, shared resources and tooling, and complex setup matrices 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 auto parts, metal components, fasteners, flat steel and equipment 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 metalworking chain, connecting demand, inventory, capacity and detailed scheduling in a continuous cycle.

Statistical forecasting and commercial collaboration reconciling OEM production programs, aftermarket replacement demand and make-to-order items — handling seasonality, new launches, end-of-line items and thousands of SKUs with AI/ML methods.
Inventory and replenishment policies for steel, copper and aluminum, semi-finished and finished goods, with ABC/XYZ segmentation and coverage tailored to long routings and MTS/MTO environments — reducing WIP and tied-up capital.
Distribution and transfer planning for multi-DC networks, OEM deliveries (line-side/JIT) and exports, with fair share and prioritization by order book and promised dates.
S&OP and finite capacity at the sector's real bottlenecks — foundry, stamping, machining, heat treatment, welding, electroplating and painting — accounting for tooling, molds and dies, and labor shared across hundreds of resources.
Opcenter APS sequencing routings of 15+ operations with setup matrices (up to millions of combinations), synchronizing stages, batches and shared resources — reducing setups, queues, WIP and unproductive time.
Fast, reliable rescheduling in response to machine breakdowns, rework, material delays and shifting commercial priorities, 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 Opcenter APS represented a structural shift in how ZEN plans and schedules its production. We moved from a model dependent on individual knowledge to a much more robust, reliable and sustainable process, with clear gains in scheduling predictability and quality.” — Gabriel Darosci, Planning Supervisor
