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.
