Quintiq, a global leader in supply chain planning and optimization (SCP&O), announced today that its platform is being rolled-out at the Outokumpu Stainless AB in Avesta, Sweden to support the scheduling of cold flow operations. The project will be completed by the end of 2013, and Outokumpu's cold flow area, which produces stainless steel coils and sheets, will experience tangible benefits immediately upon completion.
Outokumpu is the biggest stainless steel producer worldwide and its Avesta Plant houses cold flow operations including annealing, pickling and cold rolling facilities.
