Zero-Deviation Planning
Optimizing high-precision order fulfillment at Waldemar Knittel.
Challenge: Synchronizing 200+ SKU production cycles
Managing demand for laboratory glass products requires navigating extreme seasonal variances and custom engineering requirements. The challenge was reducing "Planning Jitter" where production overshoots demand, leading to inventory bloat.
Solution: Statistical S&OP Buffering
Developed an automated capacity tracking tool that cross-references real-time data with factory line availability, creating a buffer zone for high-priority global orders without disrupting standard runs.
