Interview: Excel Works... Until It Doesn't

Excel remains the central tool for planning in many companies. However, with increasing complexity, it is increasingly reaching its limits. In the interview, we talk about how to recognize this, why „functioning“ is not the same as „optimal,“ and how planning is fundamentally changing today.

Insights: Scenario-based replanning

When demand, capacities, or material availability change, Excel quickly reaches its limits in production planning. This article shows how pharmaceutical and chemical companies can set up replanning in a more resilient, faster, and more transparent way.
Interview: Dynamic network realignment of volatile supply chains

Supply chains today are under constant pressure of uncertainty, while established network structures are increasingly reaching their limits. The interview shows why traditional planning approaches are no longer sufficient and how companies can make better decisions.
Insights: Planning Governance and Transparency

Planning rarely fails due to data—but rather due to inconsistent decision-making logic. The article shows why spreadsheet-based planning reaches its limits and how mathematical optimization helps to make complex decisions consistently and reliably.
Interview: Unlocking Hidden Potential in Linehaul

Many linehaul networks function reliably in everyday operations. Schedules are set, processes are in place, and routines are well-established. And yet, upon closer inspection, it often becomes clear: not everything that works is truly efficient.
End-to-end decision support in retail logistics

End-to-end decision support reduces total costs in retail logistics by 5-10 % through holistic modeling instead of silo optimization. Find out in our insights how intelligent decision support achieves this.
Interview: Optimization of transport networks

This interview with our experts shows why rising cost pressure and increasing complexity make structural optimization of transport networks necessary and what concrete potential this offers.
