the final application.” Dimitris Sagias Supply Chain Analyst Infrastructure, Logistics and Supply Chain Solutions of Bayer Source: Source: INFORMS INFORMS Practice Meeting Practice Meeting Vancouver, Vancouver, April’07 April’07 AIMMS-based Applications INEOS – Simulation & Steam Optimization The AIMMS modeling system has been used to redevelop the production planning and simulation tool DISPO that is essential in maintaining Ineos Cologne plant reliability and utilization at over 90% (actually 97%) Clemens Schwark Ineos Cologne Production Planning and Coordination (a former BP and Innovene company) AIMMS Partner Case Unisoma/VCP – Forrest Planning Considering harvesting costs and productivity forecasting that depends on each region, the model prescribes the best management actions for the forest areas in next 30 years, ensuring wood supply for the plants and minimizing costs The system deals with particular business practices, like land, evaluation of buy and sale opportunities, and need of soft variation on transportation costs year-to-year Solutions for the scenarios are visualized on maps by a connection of AIMMS with GIS, what enables the evaluation of spatial constraints that are not explicit on mathematical modeling but are operationally important Votorantim Celulose e Papel See also: www.aimms.com/unisoma AIMMS Partner Case CQM/Danzas – Transport Optimization with PlaNet Within Danzas Euronet we use PlaNet as decision support tool for network planning, especially on a tactical and strategic level PlaNet enables planning efficiency and cost optimization, as well as improves our customer relationships Our customers profit from optimization of network cost and the increased efficiency enables ourselves to use more resources for new business Danzas Euronet/DHL
