Aurubis
Case Study
Sales & Operations Planning
Aurubis has been producing copper and other metals that are indispensable for modernizing our lives for over 150 years. After all, smart and networked developments cannot function without metals - regardless of whether we are talking about renewable energies, e-mobility or digitalization.
The procurement and production processes are highly complex - with raw materials from over 30 mines worldwide in over 50 material qualities. To ensure stable production despite these challenges, Aurubis initially developed an integrated solution for concentrate planning based on Board together with celver. In the next step, the system was expanded to include Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) in order to take even greater account of demand fulfillment.
