Case Study: Valmet achieves 33% faster lead times with Delfoi Planner

Valmet benefits from Delfoi Planner

Valmet, a global developer and supplier for the pulp, paper, and energy industries, faced significant challenges in production planning due to the demanding nature of its new projects and hectic spare parts service. Their high-mix, low-volume production meant changes had an immediate and severe impact, requiring a more flexible and adaptable system. To address this, they turned to vendor Delfoi and implemented its Delfoi Planner advanced planning and scheduling (APS) solution.

The Delfoi solution provided a visualized, real-time planning system that was bi-directionally integrated with Valmet's ERP. Delfoi Planner's implementation led to substantial measurable improvements, including a 33% faster lead time for core products and a 20% increase in capacity. Additionally, production planning time was reduced from five weeks to two, and recovery time from disruptions dropped from five days to just one.
