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.

Rhythm Wheel based production planning

Rhythm-based production planning creates stability, reduces costs and brings calm to complex production processes.

Saving electricity in production

Find out with OPTANO how peak load management, flexible production and heat integration can reduce your production costs.

Trade-offs as a challenge

For companies, trade-offs are an everyday reality and a challenge that needs to be mastered.

Reduce CO₂ emissions and save costs at the same time

Mathematical optimization makes it possible to save CO2 without major investment - and reduce costs at the same time. We show you how!

From transit to triumph

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

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.

Resilient supply chains in the pharmaceutical industry

Many children had to go to hospital in winter because there were no antibiotics. Instead of being treated at home, an inpatient infusion was often necessary.

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.

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?

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.

Rhythm Wheel based production planning

Rhythm-based production planning creates stability, reduces costs and brings calm to complex production processes.

Saving electricity in production

Find out with OPTANO how peak load management, flexible production and heat integration can reduce your production costs.

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.

Inefficiency in distribution

Rising customer expectations, volatile markets and growing demand are challenging distribution. Operational measures alone are often not enough to eliminate long-term inefficiencies.

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.
