OMP and Solvay, a Belgian-based global leader in the chemical industry, have announced a new collaboration, aiming to transform Solvay’s supply chain planning and boost efficiency and innovation.

With its advanced Unison Planning™ solution and acknowledged expertise in chemical industry supply chains, OMP is well-positioned to help Solvay elevate its operational performance. The scope is designed to enable demand and supply planning across tactical and operational horizons, achieving end-to-end visibility with a reality-based digital twin approach. It will also help standardize the planning process across all the business units.

The implementation of Unison Planning is an important milestone in the supply chain  transformation program. It will support the objectives of process and tools standardization across the different business units worldwide. The project, next to the classical S&OP modules, will also add advanced features like multi-echelon inventory optimization (MEIO), advanced analytics, and scheduling aiming to enhance performance and sustainability through cross-functional collaboration and innovation.

Both Solvay and OMP are committed to ongoing improvement and to realizing the full potential of this partnership across Solvay’s global operations. “We’re excited to join Solvay on this transformative journey,” according to Kurt Gillis, Industries Director at OMP. “Our combined efforts will streamline Solvay’s supply chain and set new standards for efficiency in the industry.”

A strategic step toward supply chain agility

Solvay’s focus on innovation and sustainability aligns with OMP’s stated vision of creating smarter, more resilient, and sustainable supply chains. Using Unison Planning’s capabilities, the partnership is set to bring major improvements in demand forecasting, inventory management, and overall supply chain agility. With global end-to-end visibility in place, Solvay is looking to be better equipped to expand into advanced AI and global optimization solutions.

“Partnering with OMP is a key move for Solvay to achieve supply chain excellence,” says Lanny Duvall, COO at Solvay. “Together, we’ll move forward on our mission to provide high-quality products to our customers while reducing our environmental impact.”
