Case Study: Amgen achieves faster, more accurate production scheduling with Sigmoid

Amgen boosts capacity utilization by 15% with Sigmoid

The customer, Amgen, a Fortune 500 biopharmaceutical company, faced a challenge with its manually designed Master Production Schedule, which took nearly two days to alter in response to changes. They partnered with vendor Sigmoid to develop an automated system that would synchronize operations and improve productivity and capacity planning.

Sigmoid built a solution using constraint programming and Google OR-Tools to automate the Master Production Schedule. This robust ML solution provided near real-time visibility of operational KPIs. The implementation resulted in a 15% increase in capacity utilization, a 98% reduction in time for schedule generation, and enabled the schedule to be automatically adjusted and generated within minutes.
