ANTWERP and AALST, Belgium, Oct. 1,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- OMP, a global leader in supply chain
planning solutions, and Bluecrux, a premier provider of value chain
consultancy and technology solutions, are excited to present a
powerful combination of their flagship platforms: OMP's Unison
PlanningTM and Bluecrux's
BinocsTM. As the latest evolution in this
longstanding partnership, the joint offering marks a significant
milestone in the collaboration between the two companies: after a
decade working together, this new phase allows their combined
technologies to provide unparalleled value to customers in the life
sciences industry.
The combined strength of both solutions will help companies in
life sciences to streamline manufacturing and quality operations on
both the short- and mid-term horizons, reducing friction and
increasing overall operational efficiency. This enables agility and
resilience in responding to market fluctuations and operational
disruptions, ultimately driving faster time-to-market for critical
products.
A decade of collaboration
Over the past ten years, OMP has successfully collaborated with
Bluecrux's consulting business unit on numerous projects, driving
innovation and efficiency across the life sciences, CPG and
chemicals sectors. This next step focuses on the joint value
proposition of their respective planning platforms, delivering a
powerful, unified solution designed to optimize the entire supply
chain for life sciences organizations.
Integration of "best-of-suite" and "best-of-breed"
solutions
OMP's Unison PlanningTM is a
best-of-suite supply chain planning platform that provides
end-to-end (E2E) supply chain planning capabilities. As a
"best-of-suite" solution designed to handle everything from
strategic network design to detailed production scheduling, Unison
Planning is known for its flexibility, scalability, and ability to
deliver real-time insights that drive smarter decision-making
across the supply chain.
In contrast, Bluecrux's BinocsTM is a
"best-of-breed" resource management system specifically tailored
for the unique challenges of laboratory planning and scheduling in
the life sciences sector. BinocsTM excels at
optimizing laboratory operations through AI-enabled resource
scheduling, advanced capacity planning, and intelligent test
management, making it an indispensable tool for labs in highly
regulated environments, such as QC teams.
Greater than the sum of its parts
"What makes this collaboration unique is that, while both
systems handle planning and scheduling, they focus on entirely
different aspects of the supply chain," states Anneleen
Tronquo, Managing Partner at Bluecrux. "Unison
PlanningTM focuses on manufacturing
constraints, whereas BinocsTM specializes
in lab constraints, like equipment availability and personnel.
Together, they present a complementary offering that delivers more
value than the sum of its parts."
As elaborated by Jasper Wouters,
Global Industry Lead for Life Sciences at OMP: "Our goal with
this integration is to enable more fact-based decision-making and
reduce the emotional debates that often arise between Quality and
Manufacturing teams when priorities shift. With a synchronized view
of operations, our joint solution helps resolve such conflicts
quickly and efficiently."
This powerful combination will allow life sciences organizations
to better align their QC and production planning processes, leading
to more agile and responsive supply chains.
To highlight the partnership and further explore the benefits of
this joint offering, Bluecrux and OMP have also published a
detailed white paper titled "Dissolving Silos with Synergy: a
collaborative approach to integrating end-to-end supply chain and
QC planning in life sciences". The full paper can be downloaded
