Quintiq, a Dassault Systèmes company and world leader in supply chain planning and optimization, announced that SIJ Acroni has chosen Quintiq to offer a solution to integrated planning to optimize your production processes. SIJ Acroni is part of the SIJ Group, the largest vertically integrated metallurgical group in Slovenia and one of the largest producers of stainless and special steels in Europe.

SIJ Group has made progress in its mission to become the most successful manufacturer of steel products in Europe. A particularly important initiative in recent years has been the increase in the share of steel products in a greater proportion, from 55% to 70%. The group has subsequently dedicated itself to the search for a technological partner that would allow it to maintain this high volume growth and maintain excellent customer service. The search concluded with the election of Quintiq as production planning partner of SIJ Acroni.

Quintiq has been the perfect choice for SIJ Acroni. The extensive experience and skill of the Quintiq team in the planning of steel production was demonstrated in its trajectory of successful projects for some of the largest steel manufacturers in the world. The Quintiq solution will provide SIJ Acroni with comprehensive visibility into its supply chain, from steelmaking to cutting and packaging. Full visibility will allow the company to plan and optimize its resources and inventories, quickly identify and eliminate bottlenecks in production and improve global process flows.

"Competition is increasing in the steel market and the winners will be the companies that can offer customers the highest quality products and the highest delivery performance in a systematic way, while optimizing the use of their production assets" , says Vladimir Arshinov, information director of the SIJ Group. "In the project with Quintiq, our objective has not been to simply balance the daily execution to meet these three aspects, but to achieve significant improvements in each of them." To maintain our leadership position in the market, we have selected one of the systems of more advanced planning of Quintiq.

The Quintiq solution will integrate all the planning activities in the steelmaking plant and the rolling mills of SIJ Acroni: "The solution will allow our planners to better coordinate the transport of the metal by the factory to comply with the orders more quickly while working with smaller inventories, the use of available capacity will be increased, optimizing the resources for the bottlenecks and, in this way, SIJ Acroni's steel production capacity will be further expanded, "says Branko Žerdoner, CEO of SIJ Acroni. And adds: "

"Customers come to Quintiq looking for a powerful planning solution that meets their business needs and adapts to their unique operating environment, and with Quintiq, they always find it," says Markus Malinen, vice president for the EMEAR region of Quintiq. "We know the steel industry very well and we are confident that we will not only make SIJ Acroni's efforts possible, but also boost its leadership position in the specific markets of the steel sector in Europe and around the world," concludes Malinen. .
