AIMMS has high impact on financial results in the Manufacturing Industry
The manufacturing industry faced some serious challenges over the last years. The low labor cost countries and the financial crisis had a tremendous impact on production cost and raw material prices. Trade lanes changed, facilities were closed and cost-leadership had priority.
Do you know what is next, and how will you react? Where should you produce, at what price, and how much? Not only is it important to optimize the productivity of your assets by better planning, it is equally important to look ahead and decide on the optimal strategy. But taking optimal decisions, consistently, in a complex and uncertain world with volatile raw material prices and uncertain delivery schedules and demand, is a challenge. Therefore decision makers can no longer rely on history, hunch and hierarchy.
Shall we show you how we do it ?
Customers who use AIMMS to optimize their manufacturing processes are e.g. Heineken, E&J Gallo, Procter & Gamble , Remia, Unilever, Aurora, JBS-Friboi, ArcelorMittal, ElementSix, Philips, Gerdau Acominas, Unilever, and Syncrude.
Better decisions with AIMMS will lead to:
- Optimized (global) capacity plan - Optimal network design (Facility Allocation optimization)
- Optimal order sequencing throughout the supply chain
- Optimal stock management
- Optimal workforce allocation
- Optimal balance between production efficiency, stock level and service level (S&OP)
- Reduced lead time and improved service levels as well a more sustainable and higher quality operational execution.
