Case Study: Graboplast Rt cuts lead time by 5 days and boosts machine productivity 20% with AIMMS

Graboplast Optimizes its Production Planning & Scheduling

Graboplast, a 110-year-old flooring and wallpaper manufacturer exporting to 100 countries, faced a complex production challenge: several product variants run on a single floor line required lengthy changeovers and made it hard to meet management’s target of under 10-day order fulfillment while keeping stock and storage efficient.

An AIMMS-based scheduling tool implemented by Optasoft replaced spreadsheets and printouts with an interactive optimizer that produces schedules in minutes and lets shop-floor managers edit and test plans. Results included planning time cut to minutes, 50% less idle time, 20% higher machine productivity, a 5-day lead-time reduction and a 20% drop in stock and scrap, while improving service levels and overall efficiency.
