Kontio x Asprova
Kontiotuote Oy (Kontio) in Finland is the world’s leading manufacturer of log houses. Each year, the industry pioneer delivers 2,000 homes to over 20 different countries worldwide. “Kontio manages every stage of production in-house— from timber cutting and processing to delivering the finished home.
Kontio faced challenges with long production lead times and excessive storage, relying solely on Excel sheets for their production scheduling. Asprova presented a solution that was able to robustly handle their complex processes without programming and was successfully implemented in 2016.
With Asprova APS, Kontio benefits from high-speed simulation and realistic scheduling results. They reduced overall production lead time by 50%, reduced the time consumed for production scheduling by 70%, increased output, and cut their semi-finished inventory in half. With Asprova, Kontio has been able to increase their product range and strengthen their position as the market leader in the log house industry.
