Abstract
Operational research specialists at the OCP Group, the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, and the Polytechnique Montreal operationalized a system optimizing OCP’s supply chain downstream activities. The system
simultaneously schedules production, inventory, and vessels while
ensuring the highest demand fulfillment. Therefore, it has become central to the OCP planning process. Planners use the optimizer’s solutions and insights to improve plans in different OCP sites. Initially, the system was a bottleneck, curbing the use of other supply chain management tools. OCP management now credits the system operationalization with providing operational benefits, contributing to over a $240 million increase in annual turnover.
