AMAG is Austria's leading producer of aluminum semi-finished and cast products for the manufacturing industries, and nearly 70 percent of AMAG's total yearly output is produced at the facility. In October 2011, Quintiq consultants started the first phase of optimization in the cold mill's annealing furnaces, and completed the process within seven months. Phase two, optimizing the cut-to-length slitting lines in the Brightning Mill, began in July 2012 and was finalized just five months later. The final phase, which focused on optimizing the plate production line, began in December 2012 and goes live this month.
In addition to surpassing the goal of increasing productivity by over four percent, Quintiq's solution has improved efficiency by supporting AMAG's internal logistic processes, such as the flow of information regarding other planning process in the plant, transportation and the flow of materials.
"Implementing Quintiq was the logical choice following our success with it at our hot mill," said Christian Grubmueller, head of production planning at AMAG. "Quintiq enables us to optimize our planning process, and most importantly, exceeded the targeted increase in productivity levels. Through Quintiq Scheduler we are continuing to create value and strengthen our competitiveness."
"We are pleased about the extended collaboration with AMAG," said Arthur Torsy, vice president EMEA at Quintiq. "Quintiq has established itself globally as the supplier of choice for SCP&O for companies in the metals industry. We welcome this new project with AMAG as it continues to demonstrate how Quintiq adds value to the efficiency and planning processes."
