Maaden Aluminium has selected Quintiq, a Dassault Systemes company and global leader in supply chain planning and optimization (SCP&O) software platform, to facilitate a business planning transformation program.
Maaden Aluminium wanted to switch from volume-driven to demand-driven production planning. To achieve its targets, it needed a planning software platform that could integrate internal planning processes, improve information flow and support optimal decision-making.
Maaden Aluminium chose Quintiq for its scalability and optimization capabilities as well as successful track record in the industry.
Quintiq will optimize the aluminum producer’s internal processes and guide its employees on industry best practices and strategies.
It will provide Maaden Aluminium with greater visibility over its supply chain, identify and reduce bottlenecks in production, and develop expertise in pull-through production.
The platform’s scenario planning capabilities will enable Maaden Aluminium’s planners to handle disruptions effectively while its KPI dashboards ensure that they see the impact of their planning decisions on business goals.
Victor Allis, chief puzzle solver at Quintiq, worked closely with the Maaden Aluminium team to develop the Quintiq platform for the aluminum producer’s transformation program.
“We are very proud that Maaden chose Quintiq for this project. This partnership further cements our presence in the GCC’s metals market,” he said.
“We selected Quintiq because it’s a leading expert in supply chain planning and optimization with a proven track record in the aluminum industry. Quintiq proved, in a one-week go-live challenge, that they understood our challenges and could build a planning solution for us in a very short time,” said Tom Walpole, SVP of the aluminum strategic business unit at Maaden Aluminium.
Maaden Aluminium, part of the Maaden group in Saudi Arabia, operates one of the largest and most efficient vertically-integrated aluminum production complexes in the world. The complex represents a SR40-billion ($ 10.8-billion) investment made in partnership with Alcoa.
