The importance of operational excellence
PRO unlocks the full potential of your current resources. By planning smarter, productivity is increased.
Effective Planning & Resource Optimization helps your organization to achieve goals in a timely and cost-effective manner. It involves careful analysis of the available resources such as personnel, equipment and materials, and determines the best way to allocate those resources based on the specific needs of the project or operations. Our mathematical models will support your planners to reveal solutions that otherwise would have remained hidden.
Applications often arise in the supply chain area. Think of transport planning and route optimization, as well as inventory management and network planning. But also broader applications like skilled workforce planning, employee rostering, workload balancing, capacity optimization or task allocation and sequencing.
Data makes you agile
We use flexible software that can be integrated in your WMS, MRP system, etc. Optimize your defined KPIs (costs, risk, productivity, ROI, etc.) while staying within the bounds of specific business rules (for loading, co-drivers, costs, etc.) and constraints (like SLAs, skillsets, electric vehicles with shorter ranges, time windows, etc.). Our optimization consultants use mathematical programming and other operations research methods to translate your business problems into mathematical equations. As these equations are solved, more optimal solutions are revealed!
On top of that, powerful visualizations are used that allow your planners to effectively tweak solutions where needed, providing full transparency of the impact of the change on your objectives and business rules. This allows for objective and effective decision making based on a complete overview.
