Capacity planning optimization and campaign planning for Duferco La Louvičre
Sep 5, 2007
Duferco La Louvičre (DLL) is install new capacity planning optimization and campaign planning tools. Material Flow Coordinator (MFC) and BetaPlanner MidTerm will complement the existing SteelPlanner implementation. In addition to the optimization of plant-wide capacity, MFC will allow DLL to control and optimize raw materials supply, manage customer orders, minimize costs, and maximize throughputs. This implementation will take into account all constraints related to suppliers and customers. Consequently, it will increase the customer satisfaction by reducing lead-times, increasing flexibility, and improving due date performance.

BetaPlanner MT will be efficiently provide the longest program possible and the  best sequence campaign for the rolling mill while minimizing stocks, optimizing stock mixes, and with regard to the constraints of thickness, width, and hardness of the slabs. The BetaPlanner MidTerm will also allow building an adequate slabyard in front of the reheating furnaces by extending the horizon of the rolling schedules.
