Operations & Supply Chain Optimization

What We Do

We turn operational planning from an art into an engineering discipline. Most organizations plan with spreadsheets, rules of thumb, and experienced guesswork. That works — until demand shifts, capacity changes, or complexity exceeds what intuition can handle.

  • Production planning and scheduling — mathematical optimization of production sequences, batch sizing, resource allocation, and changeover scheduling. Our MoTo platform generates executable production plans that respect real constraints
  • Supply chain network optimization — inventory positioning, reorder policies, supplier allocation, and distribution planning. Multi-echelon optimization that balances service levels against working capital
  • Demand forecasting — statistical and ML-based demand prediction, including intermittent demand, seasonal patterns, and new product introductions. Forecast accuracy measurement and continuous improvement
  • Capacity planning — medium-to-long-term capacity analysis: when to add shifts, invest in equipment, or outsource. Scenario-based planning with quantified trade-offs
  • Digital twin for operations — building living models of your production and supply chain that mirror reality and enable continuous what-if analysis. Using our Aipokit platform for process twins and MoTo for planning twins
  • Simulation and scenario analysis — testing operational changes (new products, demand spikes, supplier disruptions) in a simulated environment before committing resources

Our Approach

Operations optimization is inherently quantitative — but the hard part isn’t the math, it’s getting the constraints right. We spend significant time understanding how your operations actually work: the unwritten rules, the workarounds, the constraints that aren’t in the ERP master data.

We build models iteratively. The first version is deliberately simple — capturing the main constraints and objectives, producing results your planners can validate against their experience. Then we add complexity where it matters, always checking that additional model sophistication actually improves decisions.

Our MoTo platform provides the scheduling and optimization engine. Aipokit handles the process layer. Together, they create an operational digital twin that planners use as a daily tool, not a one-time analysis.

Typical Engagements

  • Planning maturity assessment — evaluating your current planning processes, tools, and data quality. Identifying where optimization has the highest impact and what groundwork is needed
  • Scheduling optimization — building and deploying a production scheduling system for a specific plant or production area. Typically 8-12 weeks from kickoff to first production use
  • Inventory optimization — redesigning reorder policies and safety stock calculations across your product portfolio. Data-driven, replacing spreadsheet-based rules with optimization models
  • Operational digital twin — building a simulation model of your production or supply chain for ongoing scenario analysis and continuous improvement

Q & A

ERP planning modules are good at executing plans but limited at creating optimal ones. They typically use simple heuristics — first-come-first-served, fixed lead times, static safety stocks. We build optimization models that consider the full picture: capacity constraints, setup times, demand uncertainty, material availability, and cost trade-offs simultaneously. The results feed back into your ERP for execution.
Management consultancies typically deliver recommendations and frameworks. We deliver working systems. Our optimization models and planning tools run in production — generating schedules, recommending inventory levels, flagging exceptions. When we leave, the system keeps working. We also maintain and evolve it if needed.
At minimum: your product/item master data, historical demand, current capacity definitions, and existing planning parameters. We work with whatever format you have — ERP exports, spreadsheets, database dumps. The first phase always includes data assessment and cleaning, because optimization on bad data gives confidently wrong answers.
Yes. We complement APS systems by providing the optimization layer they often lack — custom models for your specific constraints, scenario analysis capabilities, and integration with process/demand data that APS tools can't handle natively. Our MoTo platform can serve as a standalone planning tool or as an optimization engine feeding into your existing systems.
