Quintiq Partners with Aluminium Smelter to Boost Capacity Planning and Inventory Management
19th December 2017
Supply chain optimiser Quintiq is to partner with Alro, the largest aluminium smelter in the Central and non-CIS Eastern European region. Quintiq says its solution will provide capacity planning, inventory management and production scheduling support capabilities.
A member of the world’s seventh largest aluminium producer Vimetco N.V., Alro aims to increase its delivery performance and production volume while keeping costs low and minimising scrap. The company also plans to increase its momentum in highly demanding sectors such as aerospace and automotive metals.
“Visibility creates value,” said Dobra Gheorghe, Alro’s General Director. “Quintiq’s streamlined approach to scheduling gives us full visibility of our present situation, enabling us to better anticipate demand, lead time and potential bottlenecks. This allows us to be more resilient against unforeseen disruptions. Increased assurance of on-time in-full deliveries also enables us to maintain the trust and satisfaction of our customers.”
Alro’s first project with Quintiq is expected to go live in early 2018.
