Suitable for use with single level products or simple multi-component products (e.g. animal and aqua feed), simple food blending (e.g. breakfast cereals), fruit juices and other beverages, sausage and meat products, tea and coffee, mineral premix, fertiliser and other industries.

This module optimises all products in a plant for a particular time period, whilst taking account of restrictions on raw material supply. Multi-Mix® achieves significant cost savings over the use of Single-Mix® by allocating scarce or surplus raw materials at total least cost.

Comprising a full distribution model, this module takes the Multi-Mix® concept further by providing optimisation facilities for multiple time periods and/or plants. In addition to ingredient tonnage constraints, resources may be transferred between locations, and through time, with the cost of such transfers taken into account. A variety of models may be constructed and Global-Mix® secures significant advantages in its use as a strategic planning tool.

Specifically designed for multi-component products, particularly where components are shared between different end products. Petfood manufacture is a typical example of an industry that benefits hugely from the use of Integra-Mix® since this module is able to model not only the resource management but the multi-step manufacturing process.

Available in Single-Mix®, Multi-Mix® and Global-Mix®. Parametrix™ allows the rapid investigation of step-wise changes in factors affecting the optimisation result, for example raw material cost or availability.

Uses stochastic techniques to optimise a formulation whilst taking into account variability in raw material analysis.
