Blend management is an important function within a bulk commodity supply chain as it is directly related to profitability through contract acceptance and penalty/bonus determination. QMASTOR can help optimise the blending of material from multiple stockpiles, often with varying grades, to meet a set specification with certain tolerances, at the lowest possible cost.
QMASTOR’s blend management module enables users to:
- Utilise a blend calculator to optimise cargo specifications
- Conduct “what if” stock planning scenarios to view possible courses of action and their impact on downstream supply chain operations prior to actual events
- Automate the task of building blends that conform to spec from multiple stockpile sources with varying tonnages and grades
- Improve commodity quality issues that impact on supply chain and plant performance
- Determine the lowest cost/most ideal blend considering contract requirements; logistics and inventory constraints
With benefits to quality/grade controllers, logistics managers and bulk terminal managers, QMASTOR’s blend management module provides the foundation for reducing and potentially eliminating costly out of specification quality penalties.
