Shorter lead times and simpler production
Logio partnered with Modus to redesign production planning and scheduling and to streamline semi‑finished inventory.
Outcome
Fewer production phases and a significantly reduced set of semi‑finished blanks improved flow and shortened order‑to‑delivery times.

About Modus
Modus is a Czech manufacturer of professional luminaires, active since 1994 and among the country’s leading producers and exporters. Headquarters and sales are based in Jinočany near Prague, with production and technical support across the Czech Republic.
Founded: 1994
Scale: 25,000 luminaires produced per week
Team size: 250–499 employees (2023)
Initial challenge
Modus faced long delivery times and inefficient planning across a weekly output of approximately 25,000 products. Inventory of semi‑finished parts was complex and created waste in production.
Project goal
Increase information support for planning, reduce the number of production stages, and define a smaller set of semi‑finished items to stock in order to shorten end‑to‑end lead time.

Impact
Simpler flow, faster delivery.
Slimmer semi‑finished portfolio
Reduced blanks from about 6,000 to 1,700, cutting complexity in planning and storage.
Fewer production phases
Simplified routing that reduces handovers and waiting.
Shorter end‑to‑end lead time
Faster order‑to‑handover through better scheduling and inventory setup.
Less waste in production
Fewer variants and clearer routings reduce rework and idle time.
Scalable method
The route‑modeling approach can be replicated across other Coop units and retail chains.
Let’s simplify your manufacturing flow
If your production planning is complex and lead times keep slipping, we can help you redesign planning, inventory of semi‑finished parts, and KPIs for faster throughput. Let’s talk.
We tackled many supply chain challenges
Production planning optimization for Thermo King
Logio mapped and redesigned Thermo King’s production planning and material ordering processes, implemented changes in the information system and reporting, and set a clear action plan. This enables lower inventories, shorter lead times, and less workload for planners.
Improved efficiency of production planning
Reduced inventory levels in production supply
Shorter production lead times and smoother material flow
LNG station network design for GasNet
Logio analysed freight flows through the Czech Republic and used distribution strategy modelling to position seven LNG stations so they can cover around 80 % of the territory and make low emission fuel significantly more accessible for carriers.
