Case Study: Nampak achieves fast, profitable production planning with AIMMS

Nampak develops profit-based production planning in 6 months with AIMMS

Nampak, Africa's leading packaging company, faced a challenge in improving production planning for its glass division. Increasing demand volatility and the need for greater efficiency required a new solution to replace their basic Excel-based scheduling, which couldn't handle complex optimizations or quantify the financial impact of decisions. They turned to vendor AIMMS for an optimization solution.

AIMMS, along with an implementation partner, developed the GOBSS planning and scheduling solution. The AIMMS-based application enabled Nampak to respond quickly to market changes, quantify planning decisions financially, and extract more value from their process. The solution was implemented in a record six months, delivering incredible operational stability and allowing the company to maintain customer service at a reasonable level of profit.
