Inventory, Lots and Capacity.

The Ceramics and Glass industry faces a highly complex operational landscape, from production planning and scheduling to distribution. A key challenge is the unpredictability of delivery times, which stems from the actual constraints of the factory. Production capacity is limited by kiln capabilities and finishing processes, with substantial setup times needed whenever temperatures or product formats change.

Companies served:

Neo supports your entire supply chain planning process — from long-term strategy to short-term execution — addressing the unique characteristics of the sector, including batch sizes, color shades, dimensions, production optimization by format and material, glazing, temperature ramping, and physical storage limitations.

We combine consultative expertise with state-of-the-art technology.

The key challenges for ceramics and glass manufacturers:

Production predictability

Working with natural raw materials brings low predictability in quality, color, and batch consistency, along with high variability in formats and finishes.

Maintenance of resources

Extensive maintenance requirements for equipment, production lines, and tools such as molds and presses.

Size and color

Inventory management, including control of size and color variations, as well as glass lamination processes, adds complexity to production.

S&OP and Rescheduling

A dynamic production environment with shifting priorities, production delays, and machine breakdowns.

What to expect:

Inventory reduction

Better synchronization between operations shortens lead times, reducing WIP and allowing you to lower finished goods inventory through faster replenishment. The solution’s agility also enables rapid responses to demand changes, helping you avoid unnecessary stock.

Increased productivity

Scheduling rules will group similar items together, cutting costly setup times. Improved synchronization reduces wait times, directly adding value to the product while maximizing the utilization of your company’s assets.

Reduce delays

Enhanced visibility, faster scheduling, and more accurate planning help reduce delays and stockouts by identifying issues in advance. This allows you to run simulations, take preventive actions, and eliminate problems— all while ensuring product availability without compromising customer service.

More agility

Replanning is even more challenging than planning. A machine breakdown, rework on a component, or a change in demand for an item can create a cascading effect that requires rescheduling the entire plant. Responding quickly with a solid plan allows your team to focus on analysis and decision-making rather than just operational firefighting.
