  • 9. Push-Pull Planning in Chemicals

    Push-Pull Planning in Chemicals


    Discover how outside-in demand signals across the network are synchronized with a push plan. In the Chemical industry, upstream production processes are typically divergent, leading to highly interconnected value streams. This demo, based on OMP for Chemicals, highlights the example of a base material that pushes multiple by- and co-products further down the supply chain. Planning optimization is achieved by creating a value-based product wheel, while meeting inventory and demand targets.

  • 10. Transport (route & load) Planning

    Transport (route & load) Planning


    In this demo, you find out how seamless integration between production scheduling and transport optimization can increase business benefits. See how deployment planning can connect to the execution level in one integrated cycle. Transport routes, and truck or container loading are optimized by considering stacking, weight, unloading sequence and other constraints.

  • 11. Integrated Planning for Metals

    Integrated Planning for Metals


    In many Metals industries, order-specific requirements trigger the need for one-time routings and bills of materials (BOMs). OMP Plus allows to integrate all necessary functions, such as BOM & routing generation and material allocation, in the planning and scheduling cycle. Discover how planning master data are dynamically generated on the fly, taking specific characteristics into account. This enables a smooth and agile planning process, especially when unforeseen business opportunities require a fast response. Witness how OMP Plus allows to easily prioritize and evaluate work in progress (WIP) material against rush orders, to be able to meet requested delivery dates while balancing order book with capacity usage.

  • 12. Deployment Planning with Full Visibility

    Deployment Planning with Full Visibility


    In this concurrent planning demo, you witness how OMP Plus balances fair share with prioritization rules when deploying inventories through a multi-tier DC network. Learn how users can easily decide on exceptions to which ad hoc business rules apply. The demo starts by propagating a sensed demand signal throughout the whole supply chain. Next, the updated constrained production plan serves as basis to determine a best-fit deployment plan. Before handing the plan over to detailed transport planning (see demo 10), a full-carrier solver proposes a smart grouping of transfer orders based on availability, due date, weight, volume and other constraints.

  • 13. Integrated Planning in OMP for Packaging

    Integrated Planning in OMP for Packaging


    Discover the latest version of OMP for Packaging, previously known as the Corrugated and Solid Board System. The demo shows a comprehensive view of the current plant status, from where the major planning functionalities can be initiated. This allows you to update the master plan, optimize cutting and synchronize the schedule in one single flow of planning activities. Next, we will show how planners can quickly solve high-priority issues by means of the to-do panel.

  • 14. S&OP and Demand Planning in Metals

    S&OP and Demand Planning in Metals


    Find out how OMP for Metals uses the power of simulation management to enable a demand-driven business strategy. In this demo, you learn how the impact of large project deals is evaluated against capacity investments, the portfolio mix and other tactical considerations. We will simulate the impact of downtimes to assess the optimal reconfiguration options of production routes. At last, we will also zoom into the concept of Flow Planning.

  • 15. OMP for Paper and Plastics

    OMP for Paper and Plastics


    In this demo, we cover a complete demand-driven planning cycle, based on the latest version of OMP for Paper and Plastics. Step by step, we will walk you through a seamless process where forecasting is turned into a master plan with an embedded campaign plan. We will focus on (multi-stage) slitting optimization and the integration with detailed scheduling. Experience how trim reduction and higher service levels are achieved by combining tactical and operational functions in one integrated solution.

  • 16. Touchless Planning in Packaging

    Touchless Planning in Packaging


    Ready to imagine the future of planning & scheduling in Packaging industries? Join this demo and learn how fully automated planning solutions can autonomously recover from events, such as machine breakdowns, material shortages, production speed variations, and so on. We will show how automation enables a future of self-operating shop floors.

  • 17. New Collaborative Forecasting

    New Collaborative Forecasting


    We are proud to present this new OMP architecture supporting the future digitization of supply chains. In this session, we will demonstrate how collaborative forecasting users can simultaneously access and collaborate on large data sets. A new navigator allows for even more intuitive and flexible slicing & dicing over any selected dimension. Demand changes can be made at any aggregation level and are instantly accessible to all other stakeholders.

  • 18. Smart Planning & Scheduling

    Smart Planning & Scheduling


    In this demo, we touch upon the foundations of supply chain planning. Supply disruptions are easily tackled by combining the power of solvers and touchless planning with the user’s intelligence. Direct connection of schedule consequences and supply plans allow for real-time supply visibility across different planning horizons. We will go through some reality-based examples to highlight the OMP Plus capabilities to simulate, optimize, respond and autocorrect.

  • 19. Dynamic Master Data Management

    Dynamic Master Data Management


    While the need for more dynamic and ad hoc master data shaping is increasing, ERP systems are lagging in response to those needs. In this demo, you will discover how OMP enables intuitive and quick master data creation based on a New Product Introduction (NPI). The end-to-end supply chain of that NPI is shaped through an interactive flow chart. In doing so, we make sure that all relevant lead time, transport, capacity and other data is easily added. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, so we conclude the demo with immediate integration of the NPI in the S&OP plan and simulate against the current tactical plans.

  • 20. S&OP/IBP

    S&OP/IBP


    S&OP/IBP in OMP Plus delivers visibility and control trough the power of integrated cross-functional planning capabilities. Native scenario management supports tactical and strategic orchestration by connecting with suppliers, customers and other stakeholders. Witness how business plan alignment is realized through state-of-the-art technology that embeds descriptive and prescriptive analytics to simulate, analyze and compare multiple value-based optimized scenarios. These scenarios include supplier collaboration using interactive communication channel and automatic emailing to enable true value.
