Braskem, a global petrochemical company and the largest thermoplastic resin producer in the Americas has chosen OMP‘s Unison PlanningTM as its advanced supply chain planning solution. This solution will initially be implemented in the Brazilian plants, and OMP’s industry experts will assist Braskem throughout its digital transformation journey.
The main objective of the Unison Planning rollout is to enhance Braskem’s planning procedures to ensure that each plant achieves the optimal combination of timing, grade, and volume. With increased automation and optimized use of solvers, Braskem aims to improve its operational planning and production scheduling to provide increased planner efficiency and full visibility over the entire supply chain.
The project will focus on implementing an integrated operational plan with distribution requirements planning (DRP), production scheduling, and material requirements planning (MRP). This implementation aims to increase agility, optimize asset efficiency, and improve service levels through a more streamlined supply chain, prioritizing analytical competencies and data-driven decisions to empower their team.
Marcelo Fornereto, S&OP Director at Braskem, is excited to start working with OMP: “In a previous advisory track, OMP has demonstrated a profound knowledge and experience in the chemical industry. We are confident we have chosen the best partner to help us address our supply chain challenges and take this step in our journey.”
Christophe Ourliac, OMP’s Associate Director and Country Lead for Brazil, states: “We’re looking forward to working with Braskem and are committed to their success with this transformational project.”
Laurent Chalard, Business Development Manager at OMP, adds: “I’m excited to see how our chemicals expertise and solution will create value for a global organization like Braskem. This contract signing is an important milestone, and we can’t wait to get started.”
