Material Management
The "Material Management" module defines the organization or topology of controlled storage areas (stockyards) and methods / constraints related to the physical storage and accounting for inventory stored in the controlled stocking area of the plant.
The module is capable of handling the stacking and storing of steel industry specific materials such as slabs, blooms, billets, coils, slit coils, plates, stacks of sheet, sections, bundles of bars, wire rod, etc.
Dialogues also support the process of taking physical inventory.
The AlphaPlanner system has provided us valuable insight into our caster melt demand which as improved our ability for production planning and capacity optimization.
