OMP conference: Barcelone 23, september 27 Á 28

Companies use promotions and other demand drivers to influence product demand. The challenge is to make them effective, which starts by understanding complex driver interactions such as halo and cannibalization effects. We’ll show how purpose-built ML models can automatically detect and quantify these interactions and how XAI techniques can make them more understandable. The value is clear: Your planner can better understand the effectiveness and impact of your promotions as well as other demand drivers on past and future demand.

Meet OMP’s new "AI engine", a hyper-scalable cloud solution that significantly extends OMP’s statistical and expert system capabilities with new AI/ML options. The new engine makes it easier to integrate external data and provides a seamless link to integrate your own or third-party algorithms. We will demo how your data scientists can configure the engine and how your planners can run it with a single click in OMP for Demand Planning. We will illustrate this using an application of OMP’s in-house developed, state-of-the-art LGBM-based forecasting model.

Most planners are only responsible for a part of the overall planning scope. This helps them focus on the data most relevant to them, but it also leads to siloed planning and missed opportunities due to limited visibility. Extended Planning Visibility (EPV) addresses this issue by providing planners with on-demand access to an extended planning scope. Based on the new Unison Planning™ release 7 architecture, EPV empowers planners to make more informed decisions and proactively resolve bottlenecks, shortages, or other issues. Planners can collaborate more effectively, driving better alignment and outcomes in the organization.

Different planning layers require different digital twin representations of the supply chain, depending on the scope and horizon of the planning challenge. For instance, aggregating machines into asset groups or representing demand at a product family level needs to be done differently at strategic or operational levels, but both need to be based on the same “truth” to keep all planning layers aligned and prevent siloed viewpoints. 

In this demo, we will show how Data Genie can help create digital twins for different planning challenges, starting from the very same set of execution data.

Steel is a permanent material that can be infinitely recycled. Affordable to recover from almost any waste stream, it is the most recycled material in the world. Recycling steel scrap accounts for significant savings in energy and raw material: For every ton recycled, you save 1.5 tons of CO2, 1.4 tons of iron ore, 740kg of coal, and 120kg of limestone.

In this demo, you'll learn about the power of circular concepts in steel business tactical planning, the use of internal and purchased scrap, and how we will usher in a sustainable future with integrated CO2 reduction objectives.

Performing quality controls has become an important part of the production follow-up in the packaging industry. Discover firsthand how OMP’s redesigned quality tracing module puts operators in the driver's seat, helping them follow the production flow by alerting them when quality checks need to be performed and allowing them to record the results.

In this demo, you’ll take the role of a machine operator and experience how OMP’s new user interface supports you in delivering quality products to your customers.

Continuous flow processes are common in the chemical industry. To create a plan that maximizes profit or reduces environmental impact, planning needs to fully integrate these processes with downstream activities, which is often challenging.

OMP’s new modeling framework for continuous flow processes provides visibility and control across the entire end-to-end supply chain. The framework allows you to extend the data model with the necessary parameters, track compositions, and optimize different flow rates while keeping the benefits of Unison Planning™ by integrating this into your end-to-end value chain optimization.

While most companies are now convinced of the added value of a monthly tactical Sales & Operations Planning exercise, one of the remaining challenges is the translation of these tactical decisions into operational behavior. An MTO-like environment creates extra challenges in this matter.

This demo, with an emphasis on the paper & film industry, focuses on an automatic translation of the constrained demand and capacity plan into constraints on the operational planning. We will cover the creation of sales quotas, sourcing decisions, and making required reservations for the campaign machines and show how steering your operational plan by tactical decisions could be automated.

Supply chains are now facing disruptions that occur more frequently and with greater intensity. To overcome the resultant challenges, your business should be able to withstand and adjust to these disruptions. In this expert session, we’ll examine the main disruptions that are affecting the chemicals industry, focusing on both the challenges and opportunities they present. You will also be able to witness resilient planning in action through a demo tackling different business disruptions. We will conclude the session with a forward look on the supply chain of the future. Are you eager to put resilient planning to practice?

How do personalized therapies impact the pharmaceutical supply chain, and how does this affect planning? Join this expert session to learn about OMP’s vision on cell and gene therapy. We will present a target operating model for planning, with the aim of engaging in an interactive discussion about the entire value chain, from vein to vein. The session will delve into topics such as "patient-based modeling of demand," "slot booking," "make-to-order planning," and "exception handling." If you're interested in learning about and contributing to OMP's vision and future road map in this area, we invite you to join us.

In the past, companies have typically relied on investing in new production equipment and product redesign to achieve sustainability. However, today, green supply chain planning has become a crucial aspect for businesses that wish to meet their environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals. Paper, film, and converting businesses must also adopt this approach to become more sustainable. It is not just about making strategic investments for the year 2050, but there are also substantial opportunities for short-term benefits. Companies that prioritize sustainability are likely to gain a competitive advantage for many years to come. Join our expert session to learn how OMP's Green Planning approach can help drive these efforts.

Join this session to gain valuable insights on the latest innovations and digital transformation challenges for 2023 and beyond. Our experts will share a report on the results of last year’s innovation councils organized within the OMP Community. But that’s not all! We will take a look at key trends and hypes in supply chain planning and provide interactive discussions and polls to ensure that you actively participate and learn from the experts.
