Interview: Rolling Capacity Planning: Planning for Internal Combustion Engines and Electric Mobility Together
How automotive suppliers plan capacity across their plants for internal combustion engines and e-mobility despite uncertain demand—with OPTANO and Gurobi.
Insights: Production Planning in Response to Changes in Demand
Changes in demand require quick responses. At the same time, effective production planning determines which scheduled processes will remain unchanged.
Insights: How Production Planning Turns Scarcity into a Transparent Decision
Material shortages in production planning cannot be eliminated through planning alone. However, scarce parts can be evaluated transparently and allocated to customer orders in a traceable manner.
Insights: How Automotive Suppliers Reduce Cost Pressure Through Better Planning
Automotive suppliers are under significant cost pressure. Mathematical optimization helps to better align decisions regarding production, capacity, inventory, and delivery capability—particularly in areas where costs often arise unnoticed: when there are conflicting objectives and uncoordinated planning assumptions.
Optimization instead of standstill
Global supply chains, volatile markets and rising costs are putting a strain on inbound logistics. Excel is no longer enough - modern optimization creates transparency and security of supply.
Optimal safety stocks
High safety stocks give the good feeling of always having enough in stock, but also tie up a lot of capital. We show you how to find the optimum value.
Tariff increases put global supply chains under pressure
International trade and economic policy is in a state of flux. Geopolitical tensions, trade wars and new tariffs are creating additional uncertainty.
Challenges in the supply chains of the automotive industry
The automotive industry is in a state of upheaval: global market changes, technological advances and strict environmental regulations are driving change.
