S-HERTOGENBOSCH, NETHERLANDS--(Business Wire / Korea Newswire)--Quintiq, a global leader in supply chain planning and optimization (SCP&O), announced today that its long-time customer Aurubis Stolberg GmbH & Co. KG is going to update its scheduling platform to Quintiq 5.0 across the company’s operations.

Aurubis Stolberg GmbH & Co. KG with its 400 staff members provides a reliable and flexible partnership that guarantees the best performance, producing high precision copper and copper alloy strips and wire for the international market. Aurubis Stolberg GmbH & Co. KG is a division of Aurubis AG, Hamburg.

The upgrade to Quintiq 5.0 will bring real-time visibility to Aurubis Stolberg's operations and provide further insight into the impact of business decisions while enhancing key performance indicator-based planning.

Features of Quintiq 5.0 include:
· Increased flexibility that allows Aurubis Stolberg to trace each single coil from input to delivery
· Improved ability to forecast various scenarios, assisting planners in making decisions based on the different possible outcomes, and
· A powerful, easy-to-use interface.

“We knew Quintiq offered a supply chain optimization platform that would grow with the company,” said Detlev Marek, director of supply chain management at Aurubis Stolberg. ”While Quintiq 3.2 served our needs very well, it was time to upgrade in order for our operations to benefit from Quintiq 5.0’s advanced functionalities that would offer enhanced visibility and flexibility.”

“No puzzle is too complex for us, and we especially love solving those that evolve over time with a long-time customer, like Aurubis,” remarked François Eijgelshoven, VP EMEA, Quintiq. “Following the implementation of the Quintiq scheduler, we look forward to exploring planning capabilities with Aurubis to further streamline operations.”
