The OutPerformance Optimizer™ uses advanced optimization technology to automate the creation of a profit-maximizing sales and operations plan while considering price, cost, resources, capacity, yield, emissions and other factors.
Using input leveraged from existing systems (ERP, CRM, SCM, etc.) and based on user-defined variables and constraints, the patent-pending optimization engine processes millions of complex sales and operations scenarios to provide valuable insight into the most profitable combination of:
- Customer Mix – Which customers to focus on
- Product Mix – Which products to offer
- Strategic Pricing – What price to charge
- Asset Mix – How much of each asset to use
- Capability Mix – Which assets make which products
- Shipping Mix – Where to ship from to whom
It then delivers a profit-optimized, fully aligned sales and operations plan including volume by product, customer, manufacturing location, machine, ship-to location and shipping corridor.
Complete Optimization runs in just minutes, so that several re-runs for collaborative fine-tuning are practical during a single S&OP planning meeting, and on-the spot strategic planning is viable during contract negotiations and when evaluating the priority of sales orders.
Used in combination with the integrated planning capabilities in Maxager 7, including the What-If Planner for fine tuning of the optimized plan, and the Variance Analyzer for root cause analysis of profit growth, OutPerformance provides our customers the ability to analyze, plan, optimize and control their sales and operations planning and performance for sustainable profit growth.
