Schneider Electric SimSci Spiral Suite supply chain management software for MMM

Schneider Electric has announced its first release of SimSci Spiral Suite, a software solution for unified, enterprise supply chain management focused specifically on the mining, minerals and metals (MMM) industries.

According to a 2016 research study conducted by Deloitte, mining companies constantly seek operational improvement as the shift to productivity and supply discipline continues. Historically, MMM organisations have used a combination of point solutions within various departments, such as planning and scheduling, and operations. Experts typically produce complex custom reports for the next step in the supply chain. Not only does this time-consuming process rely on a handful of tool experts, but it can also lead to miscommunication of key data and impede collaboration.

MMM businesses can now take advantage of SimSci Spiral Suite’s architecture, which has been developed from the ground up as a single unified solution reaching across the pit-to-port supply chain. Specifically designed to eliminate the costly inefficiencies arising from legacy point solutions, SimSci Spiral Suite maximises the value of collaboration across the enterprise.

The aim is to provide a solution that enhances collaboration, better explores opportunities, reduces operational risk and reduces the gap between planned, scheduled and actual results.

SimSci Spiral Suite is available for the MMM industries from 30 September 2016, giving businesses a way to optimise performance and maximise profitability across the end-to-end supply chain.
