Ibema implement Greycon Solutions

We are here to assist you with supply chain planning, planning & scheduling, trim optimisation, and providing you with the insights you need to achieve your business goals during and beyond the COVID-19 crisis.

Who?

In 2015, Brazilian companies Suzano and Ibema agreed a joint-venture agreement, so the new company operates two sites. Turvo site at Parana state and the new one, Embu das Artes site at Sao Paulo.

The site in Turvo has been using Greycon’s X-Trim, opt-Studio and GreyconMill for many years, with excellent and proven results, so the natural consequence was that Greycon was selected to roll out its complete planning and scheduling solution to “new” site, Embú das Artes.

Location: Turvo, PR, Brazil
Industry: Cardboard Paper
Annual production: 108.000 tons
ERP System: Microsoft Dynamics AX.
Go-live: August 2011

Why?

Roll-out Greycon solution template, from Turvo to new site Embu das Artes
Complete roll out process, on a very aggressive schedule (5 months)
The roll out included transferring the whole site operation and control from Suzano to new joint-venture (human resources, admin processes, IT infrastructure, etc.)

How?

X-Trim
opt-Studio
Capable to Promise (CTP)
Integrated with Microsoft Dynamics ERP

Long-term visibility (internal and external)
Effective planning
Encouraged reviewing aspects in other areas which were necessary for the company strategy
Indicators out-of-the-box
Project repaid by more than double in the first year

Another successful Greycon project implementation at Ibema, with few minor open topics. We have improved on operations, IT systems and learned about several topics, all in a record implementation time.
