  • Large number of production sites

located in different countries

Supply network in the chemical industry Supply network in the chemical industry

Application background: intra-organizational supply network

  • Production of a chemical

specialty

  • Numerous industrial customers

across the globe

  • Contracted annual quantities,

however, highly variable short- term replenishment quantities

  • Introduction of a central supply

chain unit for coordinating

  • Development of a customized

linear optimization model

  • Lack of coordination results in

Excessive inventories Poor utilization of capacities Violation of delivery dates

  • Supply Network Planning

Mid-term coordination of plant operations Integration of production and distribution activities

  • Main planning tasks

Allocation of production volumes to plants Determination of the production mode for the main product and the generation of energy

Application of the optimization model Application of the optimization model

  • Currently numerous managers are using

the tool for operative planning.

  • Rolled out in Europe, US and Asia.
  • Estimated financial benefit

per year from supply network planning exceeded project costs by far.

  • Scenario mode is used extensively, e.g., for

capacity decisions, evaluation of approvals and

  • f the profitability of energy transformation.
  • Further benefits arise from

improved supply network design.
