Continuous risk management and increased profitability through software-supported supply chain management
Volatile chemical supply chains – characterized by supply bottlenecks and disruptive "just-in-time" logistics chains on the one hand, and a high adaptation pressure from the customer’s side on the other hand – define the parameter settings for an industry-specific software-supported supply chain planning.
Real-time simulations identify weaknesses and potentials, provide concrete recommendations for action and enable a contribution to continuous risk management and to boost profitability.
General requirements to supply chain management software tools in the chemical process industry
- Planning of batch, continuous or semi-continuous processes
- Planning of multi-site factories incl. high transport and storage costs as well as single-product, multi-product or multi-purpose plants
- Securing short- and medium-term availability of raw materials
- Tank and silo planning
- Planning the trade-off between the single or multi-product campaigns mode and the short term mode
- Resource-based orders/operations sequencing to optimise plant throughput
- Availability checks such as through ATP and CTP caused by high chain depths
- Planning of shelf life expire dates (SLED) on raw material and intermediate product levels
- Laboratory capacities planning as part of detailed production planning for continuous quality control
ORSOFT's planning solutions enable to address these functional requirements integrated with SAP ERP or S/4HANA within one solution. There is no need to create a custom master data base and interfaces.
Within just a short period of time, potential benefits such as improvements in delivery reliability, reduction of non-quality costs, reduction of changeover, idle and cleaning times, as well as reduction of safety stocks can be realized.
Our customers such as Allessa GmbH, CBW Chemie GmbH Bitterfeld-Wolfen, Celanese Emulsions GmbH, Chemische Fabrik Budenheim KG, CHT Germany GmbH, Dottikon Exclusive Synthesis AG, Hüttenes-Albertus Chemische Werke GmbH, Patheon Austria GmbH & Co KG or Zschimmer & Schwarz Mohsdorf GmbH & Co KG have already been inspired by projects in the area of Supply Chain Management with ORSOFT solutions.
