Automation of integrated planning
Customer Information
Raspadskaya Coal Company (Raspadskaya PJSC) manages the entire production and logistics value chain, from coal mining and coal processing to rail transportation and port shipments. The company implemented an Integrated Business Planning (IBP) project on the Knowledge Space platform to improve the efficiency of production and logistics value chain management and identify the optimal scenario from a profitability perspective.Project Tasks
The primary objective is to synchronize sales, processing, logistics, and financial evaluation parameters within a single solution while incorporating mining data as an input constraint for planning calculations. ```html| Creating a Unified Production and Logistics Model | Consolidate the key parameters of the production and logistics value chain within a single system and generate the optimal scenario from a profitability perspective. |
| Transition to End-to-End Planning | Replace fragmented expert calculations with a unified model that evaluates the economics of the entire production cycle. |
| Bringing Planning Stakeholders Together | Create a unified environment for all participants involved in the planning process. |
| Scenario Analysis | Enable rapid comparison of multiple business scenarios and support selection of the most profitable option. |
| Rolling Annual Planning | Support a planning horizon of up to 15 months. |
