The Challenge: Minimise cost by smart raw material allocations and purchases
Cerestar is a leader in the effective use of analytics in the Indonesian manufacturing industry. They are continually integrating smart systems that empower their people.
Zero One first engaged with Cerestar in mid-2017 to develop a proof of concept for an optimal resource allocation algorithm. Thereafter, we have expanded the scope of our collaboration into supply chain management.
Measurable
Zero One and Cerestar have a performance-based KPI that was agreed upon at the start of the project. When the incentives are aligned, Zero One is able to work closely with Cerestar, as if we are internal members.
HIGH ROI
Our cost-savings impact speaks for itself.
RIGOUR AND ROBUSTNESS
Zero One takes pride in the algorithms and software that we deploy for our clients. We have gone the extra mile to ensure correctness by producing theoretical whitepapers as well as extensive documentation.

Zero One has been contracted to work on other optimisation projects for Cerestar affiliate companies in other manufacturing industries.
Working with Zero One has shown us how much traditional manufacturing process can grow and innovate. Not only do we save our resources, it is also thought-provoking.
