Supply & Production Design
Supplier selection, manufacturing-network design, production-line configuration and facility/network configuration.
Supply Chain & Manufacturing
Optimize interconnected supply-chain decisions, not isolated ones.
Sequencing a line, allocating capacity, placing inventory and routing distribution are combinatorial problems that compound one another — better co-optimized than solved apart.
The challenge
Why this decision gets combinatorially hard.
A layout decision constrains what sequencing can achieve; an inventory policy constrains what a network can support; a maintenance window reshapes the schedule. Each is NP-hard on its own, and treating planning, capacity, scheduling and movement as separate problems misses the interactions that drive cost and throughput.
What we optimize
Concrete decisions, mapped to products.
Resource Allocation
Job-to-machine allocation, warehouse capacity, inventory placement and production capacity.
Production Scheduling
Job-shop scheduling, production sequencing, workforce scheduling and maintenance windows.
Flow & Movement
Distribution routing, material movement, warehouse movement and supply-network paths.
Product composition
Composed from QuGradient products.
Highlighted products are the ones this industry composes most often. A specific engagement may use one, several or all four.
Potential business outcomes
The KPIs we optimize toward.
Throughput
On-time delivery
Inventory cost
Capacity utilization
Operational resilience
Outcomes are benchmarked on your own data against your current approach. We don't promise unsupported percentages.
How we engage
Assessment → Proof-of-Value → Integration.
Optimization Assessment
Map the decision, objectives, constraints, data readiness and baseline to candidate products.
Proof-of-Value
Benchmark QuGradient against your current solver, process or model — on your own data.
Deploy & Integrate
Integrate the successful capability into your applications, data platforms and compute.
Bring us the problem.
Share the decision, your objectives and constraints, and a representative slice of the data. We'll map it to the right products and tell you whether a benchmark or proof-of-value makes sense.
