Insights: Production Allocation in Chemicals and Pharmaceuticals
Why multi-site planning in chemistry and pharmaceuticals is more than just shifting quantities and why Excel reaches its limits for cross-plant production decisions.
Interview: Excel Works... Until It Doesn't
Excel remains the central tool for planning in many companies. However, with increasing complexity, it is increasingly reaching its limits. In the interview, we talk about how to recognize this, why „functioning“ is not the same as „optimal,“ and how planning is fundamentally changing today.
Insights: Scenario-based replanning
When demand, capacities, or material availability change, Excel quickly reaches its limits in production planning. This article shows how pharmaceutical and chemical companies can set up replanning in a more resilient, faster, and more transparent way.
