We offer the ideal solutions for digitizing the supply chain of the metalworking industry. And we can prove it.

Dynamic bottlenecks, expensive tools and strategic stocks.

Every industry has a set of very challenging production constraints. The metal-mechanics sector is no different, whether it's serving the automotive, agricultural, construction or other segments. With the high volatility of suppliers and increasingly competitive service policies, the Supply Chain and PPCP areas need to guarantee a good level of service at the lowest viable cost.

Companies in the segment served:

Neo supports you in all your supply chain planning, from the long to the short term, dealing with sector characteristics such as tooling, equipment and labor constraints, heat treatments, painting, strategic stocks and synchronization between operations of numerous items with their assembly and packaging.

We combine consultative expertise with cutting-edge technologies.

Get to know Opcenter APS

As the largest Siemens partner in the Planning and Scheduling portfolio in Latin America, certified Smart Expert, we have implemented the world's leading Opcenter APS software, designed to use advanced heuristics to balance demand and capacity and achieve optimized Production Planning and Sequencing.

Get to know nPLAN

nPlan is an innovative advanced production scenario planning platform developed by NEO with the mission of revolutionizing the digital acceleration of the Supply Chain. Generate your production planning scenarios in an agile, reliable and collaborative way.

Get to know Plannera

Aligning the whole company around common objectives is no easy task. Conflicting goals, misaligned decisions and internal squabbles are common in companies without structured integrated planning. And this leads to worsening service levels, inefficient use of working capital and assets and, at the end of the day, lower margins. The Plannera solution helps you establish, evolve and organize your S&OP process, giving everyone clarity on what needs to be done, and why.

Get to know Evocon

Simples e ágil, digitalize os dados da sua fábrica e otimize o desempenho dos seus equipamentos ao máximo. Evocon é combinação de IOT e software plug-in-play para ajudar entender o comportamento da sua fábrica de maneira fácil e intuitiva.

Meet the AX4

AX4 is logistics management software developed by Siemens Digital Logistics to optimize and simplify logistics management. Combining advanced technology and a customer-centric approach, AX4 offers an efficient way to manage transport operations, supplier deliveries, dock management, freight payments and much more.

Dynamic bottlenecks

Because it usually has a variable production mix, the production bottleneck moves from sector to sector at any given time, making a single Lean and ToC approach difficult.

Synchronization and WIP

Due to the multiple components required for a finished product, controlling the synchronism between operations becomes complex and leads to machine downtime and excess WIP.

Frequent Maintenance

An unexpected machine stoppage or an urgent order received by sales means a lot of rework for PCP.

Tooling and Setups

Many stoppages and delays caused by tooling restrictions and high setup rates, which do not add value to your customer.

What is expected with our projects:

Stock reduction

Better synchronization between operations allows for a reduction in lead time, which reduces your WIP and allows you to also reduce your stock of finished products, since resupply is faster. The agility of the solution also allows you to react quickly to changes in demand to avoid unnecessary stocks.

Increased Productivity

Scheduling rules will group similar items together, reducing setup times that don't add value. Better synchronization allows waiting times to be reduced, generating more value directly for the product and making better use of the company's assets.

Reducing Delays

Visibility, agility in scheduling and greater assertiveness in plans allows delays and disruptions to be reduced because they are identified in advance, allowing simulations to be carried out to take preventive action and eliminate them. All this with scenarios that guarantee availability without jeopardizing service.

Greater agility

More difficult than planning is replanning. A machine breakdown, a rework on a component or a change in demand for an item can generate a cascading effect to reprogram the entire factory. Responding to this reality quickly and with a good plan allows PPCP's work to be more analytical and decisive, rather than operational.
