OPTANO Insights: Planning, Analytics and Best Practices

Practical articles on supply chain, prescriptive analytics and OR. How companies can improve their planning in a measurable and data-based way with OPTANO.

Firefighting in the supply chain

Machine breakdowns, delivery delays or plant closures are everyday occurrences in supply chains. Many companies still react improvised, manually and with little transparency.

Mathematical optimization for the parcel industry

The peak season for parcel services begins with the holidays. Shipment volumes rise sharply, while customers expect particularly fast and punctual deliveries right now.

Optimization of transport modes

Optimized transport mode selection lowers costs, improves service levels and reduces CO₂. This is how data-based distribution planning with mixed-mode strategies works.

Flowpath optimization

How mathematical optimization in consumer goods logistics reduces complexity and cuts costs.

SKU consolidation in consumer goods logistics

How mathematical optimization in consumer goods logistics reduces complexity and cuts costs.

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.

Service level vs. costs

The optimal balance between cost efficiency and service quality as one of the goals of the Supply Chain Triangle.

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.

Mathematical optimization for sustainable value creation

How can value chains be optimized and made ecologically sustainable? Analytics can help and even create a competitive advantage.

The added value of data: Why it's worth conquering the data mountain

For many companies, data preparation seems like an insurmountable mountain. But it's worth the climb - the benefits are huge.

Freeing up capital through optimal inventory

High stock levels tie up capital, while at the same time production must be secured despite supply chain problems. What is the optimum stock level?

From transit to triumph

Taking transport transit times into account optimizes production planning and reduces costs. Digital solutions balance materials, transportation, inventories and reliability.

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.

Complex CEP transport networks

How a data-driven proof of concept can identify short-term linehaul cost savings of ~5-10% - laying the foundation for holistic network optimization.

Mathematical optimization for the parcel industry

The peak season for parcel services begins with the holidays. Shipment volumes rise sharply, while customers expect particularly fast and punctual deliveries right now.

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.

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.

Retail logistics under pressure

Logistics optimization with mathematical optimization: Up to 15 % lower costs, 25 % less CO₂ and higher capacity utilization thanks to multi-destination models.
