We offer the ideal solutions for digitizing the Textile and Apparel industry's supply chain. And we can prove it.

Collections, shades and clothing minutes.

Anyone who works in the textile and clothing industry knows that it is very unique. It's a sector with so many special characteristics that make manufacturing and supply chain management extremely complex. The challenges range from specific processes, such as dyeing in the processing of knits and fabrics and their machines with different capacities and restrictions on the types of product they produce, to sewing processes that usually rely on a network of outsourced companies to carry out operations that must be balanced in the production chain.

Companies in the segment served:

Neo supports you throughout the planning of your supply chain, from the long to the short term, dealing with characteristics of the sector, such as production strategies and stocks per stage of the product life cycle, yarn and dye lot restrictions, balancing of third-party manufacturers, as well as synchronization between the various processes in this verticalized chain.

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

Simple and agile, digitize your factory data and optimize the performance of your equipment to the maximum. Evocon is a combination of IOT and plug-in-play software to help you understand your plant's behavior in an easy and intuitive way.

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.

High Stocks and Poor Service

The collection cycle is fast and knitwear and fabric stocks are easily unbalanced, causing excesses and stock-outs.

Synchronization and Outsourcing

As it is a very vertical chain, but with strong outsourcing, the synchronization and visibility of internal and external production is challenging.

Materials and Batch Management

The need for batch control and traceability, from yarn to weaving and dyeing, is unique. It's a sector in which 1+1 is not always 2.

High Setup Times and Restrictions

From dye gradients to print shop setups, this inefficiency is only likely to grow with the increase in SKUs, as well as the restrictions on machines and people.

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.
