Understand the Trade-Offs Across Production, Inventory, and Distribution
When every decision impacts margins, assets, and operations, guesswork is not an option.
Recognized in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Supply Chain Planning in Process Industries, AIMMS helps companies model their supply chain end-to-end and understand the trade-offs before committing capital.
Trusted by leading process manufacturers with complex supply chains
Support that turns complex requirements into practical capabilities
“The support team has worked with us to add new functionality that’s essential for a complex supply chain and then roll it out across the board. They always go above and beyond.”
Coordinating materials, modes, and operations that are tightly constrained
Managing material flows across road, rail, pipe, barge, and ship while accounting for batch production, minimum run sizes, and complex scheduling constraints makes it hard to run operations efficiently.
In many cases, shutting down plants is not an option, adding further pressure on planning decisions.
With AIMMS, you can model these constraints and evaluate how to operate your network more efficiently.
Maximizing margin across production, intermediates, and distribution
Deciding whether to sell intermediates, convert them into finished goods, or manage by-products such as flaring directly impacts margins.
These decisions are tightly linked to production, distribution, and make-or-buy choices, making it difficult to optimize value across the full chain.
AIMMS allows you to model your value chain end-to-end and make decisions that maximize margin across production and distribution.
Making long-term decisions in asset-heavy environments
Production assets are capital-intensive and must be utilized efficiently to protect margins.
Decisions on capacity expansions, new facilities, and mergers or acquisitions involve significant investment and are difficult to reverse, making it hard to commit with confidence.
With AIMMS, you can test future scenarios and evaluate investment decisions before committing capital.
Operating under rigid constraints and global uncertainty
Long lead times in ocean freight, take-or-pay transport contracts, and capacity reservations for pipelines or rail reduce flexibility and increase risk exposure.
At the same time, geopolitical dependencies make it difficult to design resilient supply chains.
With AIMMS, you can test scenarios under real-world constraints and design your network to reduce risk while maintaining performance.
