Initial challenge

AL INVEST faced long customer lead times caused by the existing production planning model.

Project goal

Redesign production planning, define make‑to‑stock buffers for key semi‑finished products and set optimal inventory levels to shorten lead times and increase flexibility.

Solution

Planning built on facts, not assumptions

We analysed the end‑to‑end planning process and production data, identified products suitable for make‑to‑stock, and defined optimal inventory levels including financial and capacity impacts.

Process and technology review

Mapped the current planning workflow and analysed technological procedures and production data to find bottlenecks.

Product segmentation for buffers

Used advanced data analytics to identify semi‑finished items suitable for make‑to‑stock.

Inventory level design

Set optimal stock targets using historical demand and the commercial outlook.

Financial and capacity evaluation

Quantified the impact of higher inventories on working capital and warehouse capacity to ensure feasibility and control.
