Case Study: ITE Consult achieves optimized demand and supply planning with AnyLogic

Demand and Supply Planning with the Use of Production Optimization Software

ITE Consult supported a fast-growing hair and body care company that was struggling to plan production with only a two-week Excel forecast, manual supply planning, labor constraints, and multiple demand models across DTC and retail operations. Using AnyLogic production optimization software, the customer needed a better sales and operations planning (S&OP) platform to balance demand, supply, inventory, and capacity.

ITE Consult implemented a monthly S&OP solution powered by AnyLogic and Gurobi, creating a single source of truth and enabling scenario-based rough-cut capacity planning for demand, labor, and inventory. The result was improved demand forecast accuracy, an 18-month weekly production plan with no stockouts, and significant inventory savings by reducing stock to safety levels, while also clarifying the impact of labor shifts on service and cost.
