PCO is the digital platform for strategic decision making, designed to support Sales & Operations Planning and end-to-end Supply Chain organization in complex and interconnected environments.
PCO rapidly delivers the production plan and the optimal profile of production capacity availability, while concurrently optimizing the total cost of end-to-end Supply Chain.
Alternative realistic scenarios can be easily created, to simulate the impact of shifts in demand, changes to the production and logistics network (new markets, new distribution hubs, new production lines or plants..) as well as the ramp up or delisting of new products.
In-memory powerful algorithms deliver new “what-if” scenarios within minutes, to focus on and compared before making any decisions.
