Service level vs. costs

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

Optimization of the product portfolio

Mathematical methods help to master complex relationships and countless options in the product portfolio. We show you how.

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?

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!

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.
