In testing with a large semiconductor supply chain model containing nearly 50 million decision variables, Kinaxis ( KXSCF ) was able to reduce planning cycles from more than three hours to about 17 minutes, while maintaining similar solution quality, the company added.

Kinaxis ( KXSCF ) also reported that the core optimization process became 23 times faster, cutting computing time by more than 95% and reducing runtimes from hours to minutes.

"By integrating NVIDIA cuOpt into its Maestro platform, Kinaxis ( KXSCF ) is empowering customers to achieve planning agility and scenario iteration to help navigate rapid change," NVIDIA's director of decision intelligence, Alex Fender, said.

Kinaxis ( KXSCF ) plans to present these developments at NVIDIA GTC 2026, according to the statement.
