Impala to Optimize Burnside Terminal Supply Chain
Quintiq selected for bulk terminal planning, scheduling and supply chain optimization
RADNOR, Pennsylvania, January 29, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Today Quintiq Inc. announced that Impala will utilize Quintiq's Port Scheduler
software at their Burnside Terminal. Quintiq's software solution will enable Impala to
maximize the throughput of their terminal, optimize the scheduling of barge, vessel, rail
and unloading/loading resources, and improve supply chain visibility across their entire
operation.
The implementation of the Quintiq system supports Impala's objective of transforming
the Burnside Terminal facility in Ascension Parish, Louisiana - which was acquired by
Impala in 2011 - into a state-of-the-art major bulk terminal for coal, bauxite and
alumina.
"Optimizing our terminal operations with the assistance of Quintiq will help make
Burnside Terminal an even more attractive place to conduct business," remarked Impala
Burnside General Manager, Randy Comeaux.
The Quintiq Port Scheduler system will enable Impala to balance their demand and
supply in order to optimize the use of the terminal resources and minimize demurrage
costs. The solution will provide Impala Burnside Terminal with a Key Performance
Indicator-driven planning process, which measures the quality of scheduling decisions,
minimizes planning efforts, and enables rapid re-planning due to schedule disruptions.
Impala identified all of these items as critical business drivers.
