Shorter lead times and simpler production
Logio partnered with Modus to redesign production planning and scheduling and to streamline semi‑finished inventory.
Outcome
Fewer production phases and a significantly reduced set of semi‑finished blanks improved flow and shortened order‑to‑delivery times.

Initial challenge
Modus faced long delivery times and inefficient planning across a weekly output of approximately 25,000 products. Inventory of semi‑finished parts was complex and created waste in production.
Project goal
Increase information support for planning, reduce the number of production stages, and define a smaller set of semi‑finished items to stock in order to shorten end‑to‑end lead time.

Impact
Simpler flow, faster delivery.
Slimmer semi‑finished portfolio
Reduced blanks from about 6,000 to 1,700, cutting complexity in planning and storage.
Fewer production phases
Simplified routing that reduces handovers and waiting.
Shorter end‑to‑end lead time
Faster order‑to‑handover through better scheduling and inventory setup.
Less waste in production
Fewer variants and clearer routings reduce rework and idle time.
Scalable method
The route‑modeling approach can be replicated across other Coop units and retail chains.
