LyondellBasell – Olefins Furnace Feed Scheduling
“AIMMS provided us an excellent
platform to achieve fast
prototyping, a 100% data – model
separation for scalability, flexibility
in solver usage, a common model
for all six sites – in spite of all, and
more the site specific exceptions,
and more.”

INEOS – Simulation & Steam Optimization
The AIMMS modeling system has
been used to redevelop the
production planning and
simulation tool DISPO that is
essential in maintaining
Ineos Cologne plant reliability and
utilization at over 90% (actually
97%).

Unisoma/VCP – Forrest Planning
Considering harvesting costs and
productivity forecasting that
depends on each region, the
model prescribes the best
management actions for the
forest areas in next 30 years,
ensuring wood supply for the
plants and minimizing costs.
The system deals with particular
business practices, like land,
evaluation of buy and sale
opportunities, and need of soft
variation on transportation costs
year-to-year.
Solutions for the scenarios are
visualized on maps by a
connection of AIMMS with GIS,
what enables the evaluation of
spatial constraints that are not
explicit on mathematical
modeling but are operationally
important.

Trading, trust and logistics in real-time business network
In KLICT project ‘Lobus++ Chain simulation game’,
participants from academia and business are co-operating
to develop the first business game of a new generation.
For the first time, the concept of netchains, introduced by
Lazzarini, Chaddad and Cook in 2001 in the first issue of the
Journal on Chain and Network Science, will be brought to
life in a simulation game.

Unisoma/CST – Strategic Planning Optimizer
Based on a MIP model and integrated to SAP APO (SNP
Module of SAP), an AIMMS component was developed for
CST´s Supply Chain Network Planning. This Optimizer
supports the strategic decision process of obtaining the
production mix optimization considering customer
profitability as well the production and logistics capacities for
CST and its subsidiary Vega do Sul.
“The AIMMS based Optimizer developed by UniSoma is
the 'heart' of the System and the most important
component of the project. It optimizes demand with
basis on customer profitability - a request which we did
not find in any 'package' - indicating the most lucrative
flat steel customers for CST and Vega do Sul”.
