Case Study: International Car Manufacturer boosts production efficiency with Cosmo Tech

How a car manufacturer optimized operational efficiency in a volatile demand environment while significantly increasing productivity

Cosmo Tech worked with International Car Manufacturer to help the company boost production of specific engines in a highly competitive and uncertain market. The customer needed to meet weekly demand over a 52-week horizon without increasing capacity, while managing bottlenecks, capacity variability, shared resources, lead times, storage limits, and demand volatility.

Using Cosmo Tech Supply Chain, a prescriptive simulation twin for production planning, the company modeled its network, constraints, and data to run tens of thousands of simulations and find the optimal production plan in less than 20 minutes. Cosmo Tech helped identify bottlenecks on two heat treatment machines and determine that increasing supply from one contractor was the best option, resulting in improved operational efficiency, higher engine output, and a reported +10% operational efficiency gain.
