Project Scope
Ruukki signed a corporate agreement with Quintiq to employ the Quintiq software solutions corporate-wide. Up to now, Ruukki implemented various Quintiq solutions at several plants and service centers all over Europe.
The planning solution developed at Ruukki in Raahe, Finland, is an implementation of the Quintiq Metal Scheduler and takes into consideration customer-specific constraints, logic and algorithms. Material reservation is supported with a highly interactive form, provided by the Industry Solution, supplemented with Ruukki-specific rules to locate suitable slabs efficiently.
With Quintiq, Ruukki Raahe achieved for example:
- Decreased planned stock slabs by 15 to 20%, making more room for casting on order
- Improved casting efficiency by over 10%
