Manufacturing

AI-driven demand forecasting and production planning for manufacturers

Forecast demand for thousands of product-customer combinations, align production schedules and material flows with factory capacity, and anticipate bottlenecks before they reach the line, all integrated with your ERP.

The challenges we see

SKU x Customer complexity

Demand varies by product, customer, and season. Managing 2,000+ individual time series manually is impossible.

Production scheduling uncertainty

Aligning factory capacity, material lead times, and labor availability with uncertain demand creates constant production fire-drills. Bottlenecks show up on the line, not in the plan.

Hierarchical forecast reconciliation

Bottom-up (SKU-customer) and top-down (total demand) forecasts never agree. No system reconciles them automatically.

Disconnected planning systems

ERP, CRM, and production planning systems don't share data. Planners rebuild context manually for every decision.

How we solve it

01

Multi-level demand forecasting

Weekly forecasts at SKU-customer, SKU, and aggregate levels with hierarchical reconciliation and external factor integration

  • Hierarchical reconciliation across aggregation levels
  • External factor integration (seasonality, market indices)
  • Automated retraining on new data
  • Performance evaluation using MAPE, RMSE, and weighted accuracy
02

Production schedule optimization

AI-driven scheduling that factors in material lead times, capacity constraints, and demand forecasts

  • Machine and labor capacity constraint modeling
  • Material lead time integration
  • ERP-integrated work order generation
  • Dynamic rescheduling on demand changes
  • Bottleneck alerts when forecasted demand exceeds capacity
03

Cost-aware inventory optimization

Balance production costs, holding costs, and service levels with dynamic replenishment recommendations

  • Production cost vs. holding cost trade-off modeling
  • Service level optimization by product category
  • Dynamic replenishment based on forecasted demand
  • Stock constraint and safety stock management
