Hi,
we have a customer who is going to use extensively SNP optimization engine for mid and long-term planning in conjunction with short-term PPDS optimize
The challenge:
- Expert help during SNP optimization run is needed,
- Manage heavy optimization models – 60GB,
- Currently – a bit too long run times, some instabilities in results,
- It happens despite SAP standards are met – including powerful H/W (60 cores, 256 GB RAM),
The need:
- SNP Optimization expert who can look at the optimization logs (the customer wants to provide them on request by e-mail to the relevant expert)
- SNP expert is expected to make a sanity check if everything is OK from SAP standard side.
- This request is urgent. The customer is starting productively, being the first live SAP installation in the Group,
The background:
- Wood processing – complete supply chain from cutting to finished product (floor board
- The implementation is done purely by the partner (no safeguarding procedures so far). Now the customer applied to for assistance at this critical phase.
SNP Solution:
- SNP optimizer for planning/re-planning runs in short (6 weeks) horizon by days, in 3 production/distribution locations, which can exchange between a lot of semi-finished/ final products, and one pure DC. The data model is characterized by high number of multi-outputs PPMs with many alternatives and production lots discretization (max lot sizes) as well as a high number of transportation lines with discrete quantities (transportation lot size) per each material.
- Have you experienced this kind of case before? If yes, please, give me a feedback!
