Optimizing Production for European Defense & Industry

Our team combines expertise in optimization methods and formal verification with in-depth knowledge of production, inventory, and supply chain challenges for major manufacturing projects. We help you navigate the progressive transition from small-batch, made-to-order production (Make-To-Order) to high-volume, made-to-stock manufacturing. This transformation requires:

• Reorganizing factory operations and production flows
• Calculating new production plans
• Reorganizing inventory levels
• Restructuring team schedules

Key Challenges We Address

Production Flows

How to source raw materials from subcontractors, in what volumes and at what dates, transform them into products across your factories, and deliver them to clients on time, all at minimum cost.

Factory Design & Reorganization

Determining the necessary number of machines and operators per facility to maintain current and future production rates while optimizing resource utilization and accounting for demand seasonality.

Production Scheduling

Creating detailed plans indicating where production lots should be manufactured, which machines and operators perform which tasks, inventory levels at each stage, and completion times, all while maintaining flexibility for unexpected events and rush orders.

Inventory Management

Determining the ideal levels of intermediate and finished product inventory to ensure on-time deliveries despite potential disruptions, and deciding when to finalize products in response to changing demand.

Personnel Scheduling

Calculating necessary shift rotations, machine assignments based on worker skills, training needs, and medium-term capacity planning aligned with seasonal demand patterns.
