Decision Dynamics
The TriStar optimization solution uses sophisticated linear program-based optimization technology in combination with familiar user interfaces to deliver a wide variety of easy to use decision support tools. Applications across the supply chain include raw material purchase price optimization, production planning and scheduling, and product mix and customer rationalization. In the forest products industry specifically, optimization models have been build for plywood mills, sawmills, particle board and OSB panel plants and LVL and I-Joist plants. Integration with MS/Excel ensures rapid acceptance and broad usage and support for the applications.
The DynaStar maintenance management solution is designed to provide the user with a complete set of software tools to manage the preventive and corrective maintenance operations of a process manufacturing facility. Applications include PM management, work order scheduling, equipment and parts inventory management, and purchasing functions. In the forest industry specifically, DDI has built a substantial database of relevant PMs and a large cross-referenced parts database.
All phases of a project, from the initial opportunity assessment and analysis, to the final management training session and support are considered important to its eventual success. Understanding the data requirements and resources is an early and critical step that DDI pays special attention to. Reconciling existing data and reports to the actual operating situation and results is important for success of the optimization system or the maintenance system.
The result of this combination of powerful software and attention to implementation details is a history of helping companies realize more profit from their businesses.
DDI solutions include the TriStar Supply Chain Optimization Solutions and the DynaStar family of Computerized Maintenance Management Systems. With an installed base of over 1,000 systems DDI is the leader in solutions for dynamic enterprise management.
