Industry

AI & optimization for manufacturing

Schedule production, plan the workforce, and allocate capacity to lift throughput — the industrial-operations decisions that operations research was built for.

  • Production scheduling
  • Workforce planning
  • Capacity
  • Throughput

A factory floor is a scheduling problem with real money on it: which job runs on which line, who staffs which shift, how to hit throughput without blowing capacity or overtime.

BIS models those constraints exactly and solves them with the methods heavy operations demand — including the column-generation scheduling the founder built for railroad workforce planning.

Where we help

The industrial decisions that carry cost

Production & job scheduling

Sequence jobs across lines and machines to hit due dates and throughput, with changeovers and constraints respected.

Workforce & shift planning

Column-generation scheduling for shifts and crews — the technique behind real railroad workforce planning.

Capacity & resource allocation

Allocate constrained capacity, materials, and equipment to the highest-value work, with the cost of every bottleneck visible.

Planning under uncertainty

Robust plans that hold when demand and lead times move — the subject of published research.

We start with a conversation, prove the value on a focused POC with your real data, then ship it — measurable ROI, not a model demo.
