Insights: New US tariff plans for the pharmaceutical industry
The new US tariff plans for pharmaceuticals not only affect costs, but entire supply chains. The article shows what this means for pharmaceutical companies in Europe and their planning.
Insights: Production allocation in chemicals and pharmaceuticals
Why multi-site planning in chemicals and pharmaceuticals is more than just shifting quantities and why Excel reaches its limits when it comes to cross-plant production decisions.
Interview: Dynamic network realignment of volatile supply chains
Supply chains today are under constant pressure of uncertainty, while established network structures are increasingly reaching their limits. The interview shows why traditional planning approaches are no longer sufficient and how companies can make better decisions.
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.
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.
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.
Daimler Truck AG
Daimler Truck AG used OPTANO to optimize global sales and production program planning in the powertrain sector, eliminate bottlenecks, shorten planning times and increase efficiency through mathematical optimization and scenario management.
Holcim
Holcim uses OPTANO to efficiently plan its complex cement logistics, reduce transport costs and significantly improve delivery performance through optimized routes and scenarios.
Dynamic consolidation in logistics
Find out in this factsheet how the consolidation of SKU-based goods flows in sales & operations planning is the key to greater efficiency and sustainable competitiveness.
