Case Study: Reduce the supply chain planning cycle from monthly to weekly by using SIMTO Supply Chain Solution. A major element of the planning process involved the Sales and Operation Planning (S&OP) of Chevron's global operations including all of Chevron's refineries and many joint venture refineries as well as hundreds of terminals. Read how the SCM solution helped Chevron plan and perform better across the wide spectrum of procurement, manufacturing, and distribution activities. Read Chevron: Agile Supply Chain Planning article that was published in Hydrocarbon Processing Magazine for the details.
One common problem we hear is that the meaning of information and the consequences of potential plan changes are obscured by the complexity of the data.
M3's Supply Chain Management Solution simplifies the refinery supply chain planning and scheduling process by combining data from many sources under a single, straightforward user-interface that provides an advanced business intelligence framework.
Typical data sources include:
- Current Inventory - refinery / terminal tank inventory, rack liftings & retail tanks
- Demand Forecast - marketing
- Inventory in Transit - pipeline scheduling, marine scheduling, truck & rail scheduling
- Production Schedule - refinery planning & scheduling
- Reconciled Data - ERP, SAP
The comprehensive supply chain planning and scheduling solution orchestrates the relevant plan data, offering intuitive views of the data, and making it simple to generate complex ‘what-if’ analyses. Plan information can be assembled into a SCM case, where it can be modified and analyzed for its impact on the plan outcome. Different SCM cases can be assembled from the same plan information so that different modifications can be compared by the SIMTO case comparison tool.
M3's Supply Chain Solution makes the planning and scheduling process simpler, faster and easier, which results in better, more accurate and more profitable plans.
