What VMS Solutions does

VMS Solutions, Co., Ltd. is a privately-held South Korean supply chain planning software provider founded in 2000 by Dr. Byunghee Kim, Ph.D. (KAIST) and headquartered in Yongin-si, with additional operations in Fairfax, VA and New York (US headquarters), Osaka (Japan), Singapore, and Shenzhen (China). The company develops and sells the MOZART platform, an AI-native supply chain planning (SCP) and advanced planning and scheduling (APS) system built around a digital twin architecture and a simulation-based optimization engine. The platform combines proprietary reinforcement learning models with a generative AI interface to enable autonomous production planning, real-time scheduling, and scenario simulation for complex manufacturing environments.

MOZART is modular — including SCP, Master Planning (MP), Return-to-Forecast (RTF), Factory Planning (FP), Real-Time Scheduler (RTS), Loading Simulation Engine (LSE), Fab WISE (next-generation fab simulator), and AMHS (material handling simulation) — and is deployed at semiconductor fabs (Samsung Electronics, SK hynix, Micron, Amkor), display manufacturers (Samsung Display, LG Display, BOE, CSOT), life sciences firms (Samsung Biologics, Suheung, Kolmar, LG Household & Health Care), automotive suppliers (Hankook, LS Automotive), and electronics/industrial manufacturers. VMS monetizes through enterprise software licenses and SaaS subscriptions (cloud and on-premises) combined with implementation and consulting services, sold via direct enterprise field sales across its regional offices.

With approximately 100-250 employees (60% holding advanced degrees), ISO 27001 and ISO 9001 certifications, and 25+ years of operational scheduling expertise, VMS is repositioning from a semiconductor/display specialist into a multi-vertical AI supply chain planning platform, anchored by the March 2026 launch of MOZART 3.0.
