IBM ILOG Plant PowerOps
Overview
IBM ILOG Plant PowerOps is an integrated production planning and detailed scheduling solution in the consumer goods, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
IBM ILOG Plant PowerOps helps improve operational efficiency and throughput to quickly reduce manufacturing and logistics costs.
- Globally optimize production plans, batch sizes and production sequences.
- Balance multiple goals.
- Manage demand variability and scheduling complexity.
- Simulate production scenarios: Compare schedules across key performance indicators (KPIs).
- Replan and reschedule with an interactive planning board and Gantt chart.
- Extend what-if capabilities for plant design and process design.
- Enhance your operations using your existing systems: IBM ILOG Plant PowerOps leverages existing Enterprise Resource Planning, Supply Chain Management and Manufacturing Execution System investments to provide dramatic improvements in production efficiency and flexibility without an expen-sive system replacement or a risky customization project. It complements transaction systems, provid-ing excellence in integrated production planning and detailed scheduling.
- Improve plant efficiency: The combination of state-of-the-art optimization models with a decision support application environment designed for planning and scheduling is very powerful. React quickly to changes and unexpected events while gaining a clear understanding of the consequences in terms of profitability, customer service and resource utilization. Improve overall operational efficiency to more easily handle operational bottlenecks, new product introductions, marketing promotions and unexpected orders.
- Improve profitability and customer service: More efficient planning and scheduling provides more throughput with lower unit costs, inventory reductions and less product waste. Greater agility and more compact, efficient schedules can significantly increase revenue in capacity constrained environments.
- Defer capital expenses: By increasing production through a facility, most businesses will be able to defer some equipment purchases and plant expansions over time.
- Make the best operational decisions possible: IBM ILOG Plant PowerOps provides an interactive planning and scheduling environment built on top of the most fine-grained optimization models available for process manufacturing. Its scenario creation and comparison interface lets supply chain and operations managers evaluate alternative plans and schedules, comparing them across key business and manufacturing metrics. Managers can balance the trade-offs between customer service and profitability, and make the best operational decisions possible.
- Enhance performance through improved plant design and process design: Industrial engineers and production planners can now collaborate to make decisions affecting plant profitability. IBM ILOG Plant PowerOps helps industrial engineers simulate the impact of different investment decisions in the plant with the same sophisticated planning and scheduling tools used by their colleagues in manufacturing.
- Implement lean manufacturing principles in the batch process industry: Due to the complexity inherent in plant scheduling, changeovers are hard to control and planners often use safety times and stock bufferswastes that should be reduced as much as possible.
- By helping planners generate optimal plans and schedules that are truly executable on the plant floor, IBM ILOG Plant PowerOps dramatically reduces changeovers and the use of safety times and stock buffers.
- Operating systems supported: HP-UX, Linux, Solaris (Sun microsystems), Windows family
