Consumer Goods

Efficiently Building Quality Consumer Products through Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics

Gain illuminating insights with Lumivero’s software solutions to anticipate shifts in consumer preferences, supply chain challenges, and economic factors.

From Detergents and Toothpaste to Clothing and Sporting Goods, Lumivero Helps Improve Efficiency and Reduce Risk

Whether you work for Cummins, P&G, a consulting firm or a public agency, consumer goods manufacturers face more risk than ever before—supply chain issues, materials and product quality, and skilled labor shortages, to name a few.

Lumivero provides software solutions that consumer product manufacturers use for robust analytics such as Monte Carlo simulation, optimization, decision trees, sensitivity analysis, and predictive data analysis — without requiring a statistical analytics degree

Supply Chain Management

When supply chains become unreliable, product manufacturers can find themselves at serious risk of failing to fulfill orders and seeing retailers re-allocate their spots on store shelves. One related risk is product defect liability as sub-standard raw materials can lead to lower quality finished products. Furthermore, labor shortages can arise with strikes or as a result of geopolitical events. With Lumivero’s software solutions, firms can optimize multiple suppliers to minimize failure points and maximize the probability of deliveries, as well as identify high-risk areas in the supply chain that require mitigation strategies.

Operational Optimization

Producing the optimal levels of production and inventory is a balancing act for goods manufacturers. Make too much, and you end up cutting prices to move it—make too little, and revenue slips through your fingers. Lumivero’s software solutions help you manage inventory more effectively, improve capacity planning, and schedule workforces more efficiently, as well as reduce time to market and improve delivery rates.

Engineering Reliability

You can’t reach your target production and inventory levels of your equipment if you depend on ill-maintained machinery—or if it causes even one worker accident. Lumivero software solutions can provide you insights into confidence levels around the risk of equipment failure or safety violations, letting you identify areas of weakness to ensure quality results and prevent failures.

Consumer Research

Feedback from real-life users is critical before, during and after the product development process. How else will you know what consumers want—or will want next—from you? Lumivero’s software solutions simplify and sharpen data analysis, showing you patterns and trends that are typically difficult to discern from qualitative data. Lumivero’s software solutions can help you present your data-backed recommendations to guide product managers and top executives.
