Department Analytics

In our department, we conduct application-oriented research into state-of-the-art AI solutions for all key functions of the supply chain. Our goal is to sustainably transform the supply chain with the help of intelligent machine learning and optimisation algorithms - for greater efficiency, resilience and resource conservation!

We specialise in intelligent resource planning and forecasting, AI-enhanced manufacturing optimisation and quality improvement, smart and efficient logistics processes and analytics for greater sustainability in the supply chain. Our solutions not only improve operational efficiency, but also ensure resilience to disruptions and support the development of sustainable business processes. Our offerings, including AI methods for planning specialists in logistics, production and supply chain and customised end-to-end solutions, are geared towards both immediate operational tasks and strategic sustainability goals. Our approach combines practical knowledge with cutting-edge AI research so that we are constantly developing our service portfolio dynamically. Take advantage of the transformative potential of analytics and AI in your supply chain and experience how efficiently, responsively, resiliently and sustainably your supply chains and individual network nodes can be organised as a result.

To transform the planning phases of SCM, we draw on insights from AI-based forecasting methods. With comprehensive analyses and state-of-the-art data modelling techniques, we support you in predicting your market demand, adapting supply chain strategies and optimising stock levels. This makes your planning processes agile and precisely aligned with market dynamics.

AI-supported methods are used to optimise the procurement phase of your supply chain. We improve the processes for supplier selection and supplier management, reduce procurement risks and optimise your purchasing strategies. With our analytics expertise, we make supplier performance and market trends visible so that your procurement decisions can be data-driven and strategically sound.

Improve your manufacturing processes with our AI solutions. Through data-driven analyses, we improve production efficiency and product quality and enable the implementation of predictive maintenance. Our approach systematically identifies bottlenecks, improves operations and anticipates failures to create a more resilient and efficient production environment.

With logistics analyses for the delivery phase, we improve delivery routes, schedules and means of transport management to ensure efficient and future-oriented logistics processes. Through predictive analyses, we help you to anticipate delivery challenges, optimise your fleet performance and thus increase customer satisfaction.

We rationalise the returns phase with our analytics expertise. We focus on the areas of "returns management", "waste reduction" and "returns logistics". Our experts support you in understanding and improving the returns process to make it more sustainable and cost-effective.

We use analytics to integrate sustainability into all phases of your supply chain. We improve resource efficiency and promote sustainable behaviour and environmental responsibility within the company. Furthermore, we support the fulfilment of global sustainability standards and the development of ecologically responsible supply chains.

We support SCM professionals who are already integrating AI into their operations. With access to the latest advances in AI tools and methodologies, we can customise our services to meet the complex demands of modern supply chain challenges.

Our experts are enthusiastic about applying their in-depth knowledge from research and their practical experience. Through close cooperation with universities and long-term partnerships with companies, new processes and methods can be translated into concrete AI solutions for end users. Our AI expertise is bundled in the following groups at our Nuremberg and Munich locations:
