Cassotis Consulting

Cassotis Consulting builds prescriptive optimisation models that help industrial companies plan production and purchasing. Based in Nova Lima, Brazil, it has spent more than ten years applying mathematical programming to manufacturing decisions, and its tools let staff compare scenarios and see the reasoning behind each recommendation.

• Quandec platform — software that lets non-specialists run models, compare scenarios, test sensitivity and work on decisions together.
• Assisted operation — help from set-up through to reading results and validating decisions.
• Model tuning — periodic reviews that keep models in line with process changes and new goals.
• KPI monitoring and support — regular checks of agreed financial and operational indicators to confirm gains.
