We offer the ideal solutions for the digitalization of the metal-mechanical industry’s supply chain. And we have the results to prove it.

Dynamic bottlenecks, expensive tools, and strategic inventories.

Every industry faces a set of highly challenging production constraints and the metal-fabrication sector, it’s no different — whether serving the automotive, agricultural, construction, or other segments. With increasing supplier volatility and an increasingly competitive landscape, it is imperative you hit your delivery dates as efficiently as possible.

Company in the segment served:

Neo supports your entire supply chain planning process — from long-term strategy to short-term execution. We address the specific challenges of the metal-fabrication sector, such as tooling, equipment, and labor constraints, as well as heat treatment, painting, strategic inventory management, and the synchronization of multiple operations involving assemblies and packaging.

The key challenges for the textile industry:

Dynamic bottlenecks

Because production mixes often vary, the production bottleneck constantly shifts from one department to another — making it difficult to apply a single, consistent Lean or Theory of Constraints (ToC) approach.

Synchronism and WIP

Due to the numerous components required for a finished product, maintaining synchronization between operations becomes complex — leading to machine downtime and excessive work-in-progress (WIP).

Constant Change

An unexpected machine stoppage or an urgent order from sales can trigger massive rework for the production scheduling team.

Tools and Setups

Frequent stoppages and delays caused by tooling constraints and long setup times — activities that cost you time and money.

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 inventory.

Increased productivity

Scheduling rules will group similar items together, reducing setup times that do not add value. Better synchronization allows for reduced waiting times, generating more value directly for the product and making better use of company 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.

Greater 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.
