— Bob Woodburn SVP Supply Chain Papyrus group

JBS USES AIMMS FOR DAILY COST-TO- SERVE OPTIMIZATION

The Challenge: JBS is a global leader in meat processing with an annual revenue of $27 billion and over 50 processing plants in Brazil alone. Having a master production schedule that was supported by multiple spreadsheets, JBS’ operations department faced considerable challenges in their planning process. The company was in need of a solution that would allow them to explore the best ways to meet demand and allocate production capacity at their different plants while taking specific requirements like halal, kosher, and the legislation of the recipient countries into account.

The Solution: JBS decided to redesign their processes to allow for a systematic assessment and optimization of multiple scenarios on a much more detailed level. The system that they had developed, enables them to respond rapidly to changing market prices for all of their (intermediate) products on a daily basis. In addition, it allows them to compare these insights with the latest update of their demand scenarios, production capabilities, transport possibilities, and all associated costs.

The Results:

• A 25% increase to original margin

• 90% improvement on ‘adherence to plan’

• Increased adaptability and agility in the planning process

• An optimized product portfolio with the right inventory levels

• Integrating Cost-to-Serve analysis and considerations into the S&OP process

• The ability to collaboratively explore multiple scenarios

PAPYRUS ADOPTS REGIONAL SUPPLY CHAIN PLANNING WITH AIMMS

The Challenge: Papyrus is the largest paper merchant in Europe. Seeing that paper consumption is decreasing by 7% annually, the company needed to revise its supply chain design to respond quickly to changing demand. In order to sustain their hallmark service level and flexibility and arrive at the right cost level, they had to design a new and innovative supply chain concept to drive goods through their supply chain.

The Solution: Papyrus used AIMMS to investigate and identify the best scenarios for improving the Papyrus supply chain planning process. The company is now six months into their supply chain transformation, and is rolling out a supply chain control tower application. The application allows Papyrus to centralize capabilities such as demand forecasting, demand planning, safety stock optimization, replenishment and purchase order optimization. The control tower also lays the foundation for several advanced Supply Chain Optimization concepts, including multi-echelon inventory optimization, transport optimization, S&OP optimization, and further optimization of the procurement function.

The Results:

• Initial idea to complete Supply Chain transformation in six months

• Papyrus foundation for industry excellence in Supply Chain

• Established Visibility and Control over the whole supply chain
