Operational Impact
The solution enables Continental Tires to test the feasibility of its manufacturing plans, predict when bottlenecks are likely to occur, and take corrective action. | |
Freed from number crunching and fixing errors in spreadsheets, planners at Continental Tires have more time for value-add tasks. | |
The number of what-if analyses – in which planners evaluate the likely impact of decisions on output, revenues and profits – has increased from 1 to 30 per planning cycle. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Optimizes long-term production planning, considering up to ten million constraints across all products and plants. | |
Saves up to 30% of planners’ time, allowing them to focus on value-add initiatives. | |
