Business value
Process manufacturers can now use Planning Optimization to get near real-time insights into requirement changes during office hours, made possible by in-memory processing. The solution enables master planning to include supply from processes that output co-products and by-products.
Feature details
Companies can now take advantage of Planning Optimization in process manufacturing scenarios that include multiple outputs. These enhancements enable you to do the following actions:
- Create planned batch orders using formulas.
- Calculate component requirements based on formula measurement rules.
- Cover demand with supply that originates from batch orders that output co-products and by-products.
Planning Optimization benefits
With Planning Optimization, companies can benefit from:
- Significantly improved performance and scalability with in-memory processing.
- Minimized system impact on other processes made possible by running master planning as a separate service.
- Near-real-time insights into requirement changes, achieved by running master planning several times daily during office hours.
