We offer the ideal solutions to digitalize the industry's Supply Chain. And we can prove it.

Balance inventory, finite-capacity production and demand.

Every industry has a set of very challenging production constraints. The number of processes, high setup times, lack of synchronization, stockouts and parachute orders are just some of the obstacles in the Production Planning and Scheduling process and drivers of productivity loss.

Companies served in this sector:

Neo supports your entire supply chain planning, from the long to the short term, addressing the characteristics of each industry — from defining inventory strategies, demand and production planning, to the optimized sequencing of each productive operation in order to generate agile, viable and efficient scenarios.

Challenges in this industry:

Demand Variation

High sensitivity to demand-forecast errors and demand profiles that are hard to predict across periods.

Inventory Balancing

Difficulty planning coverage while evaluating inventory policies, capacity, costs and deadlines.

High Setup Times

Alternately manufacturing components with different attributes all the time is extremely costly due to the setups involved at the start of each operation.

Production Rescheduling

Reacting accurately and quickly in a dynamic production environment with shifting service priorities, production delays and machine breakdowns.

What to expect from our projects:

Inventory Reduction

Better synchronization between operations shortens lead time, which reduces WIP and also enables a reduction of finished-goods inventory, since replenishment is faster. The solution's agility also allows reacting to changes and improving inventory health.

Productivity Increase

The scheduling rules will group similar items together, reducing setup times that don't add value. Better synchronization enables a reduction of wait times, generating more value directly to the product and making better use of the company's assets.

Delay Reduction

Visibility, scheduling agility and greater plan accuracy make it possible to reduce delays and stockouts, since they are identified in advance, allowing simulations to take preventive actions and eliminate them.

Rescheduling Agility

For any unexpected event in production, such as maintenance or slower-than-expected output, the ability to quickly reschedule the scenario allows greater production control and better results.
