The Operations Strategy Planner (OSP, see brochure) is a predictive decision making platform used by a team of supply and operations planners. It is complimentary to enterprise solutions and becomes an integral part of the Sales and Operations Planning Process.
OSP enables rather than automates the Operations Strategy process. Our approach relies on planners bringing their knowledge, judgment, and intuition to the process and OSP provides the quantitative and predictive heavy lifting. It is designed around the “Sandbox Computing” approach–rather than providing the big button for blind solutions, we lead your smart team of planners through “Facilitated Optimization” to come up with their own set of optimized scenarios.
OSP is designed to answer some of the critical questions about what should your production run strategy be in the coming quarter, season, or year. And it goes on to build a playbook for your planning and manufacturing team to execute against.

OSP can run as a stand alone decision making platform or it can be integrated with other solutions to create a best of breed solution stack.
