TACPLAN&PRODCOST

Target Industries


Typical Production Scenarios:

  • semi-continuous joint production
  • subsequent blending and filling
  • make-or-buy opportunity for some blend components
  • production costs mainly driven by volatile prices for raw materials (crude oil derivatives)
 

Typical Industries for these Scenarios:

  • lube oil refining
  • production of paraffin wax and wax-related products
  • blending and filling of liquid products
  • chemical processing of vegetable oil

Purpose

 

Supply Chain Management

TACPLAN supports the long-term period-based planning of production and purchase quantities along the whole supply chain based on sales forecasts and projected inventory levels. By modification of „period blend recipes“ (based on the LUBE model) it is possible to model make-or-buy decisions and other reactions to the projected inventory and production capacity situation.

 

Supply Chain Evaluation

PRODCOST supports the calculation of projected product costs based on current and projected raw material prices, inventory levels and period-based production and purchase quantities established with TACPLAN. The projected product costs are used by sales departments to determine the profitability of projected sales and to influence the pricing for finished products.

 

Advanced Planning and Scheduling

The product contains a specific „Light“ edition of the LUBE module (without tank level planning).

User Interface Elements


The following user interface elements are provided by SCHEDULE++:

 

Browsers display most important fields of master data or transactional data in a grid-based, spreadsheet-type window with:

  • editable text cells
  • calculated text or graphic interpretation cells
  • functions for sorting, searching, filtering and selection of data objects

 

Special elements that are used in specific TACPLAN&PRODCOST browsers:

  • tree navigation aid (used for detailed modification of „period blend recipes“)
  • graphic interpretation cells (e.g. used for alerts)
  • time series quantity cells (used in planning books)
  • global filters
