Arçelik Use Case
Flexible Supply Chain and Production Planning
Arçelik A.S. is a major global manufacturer of household appliances. With a broad product range that includes Refrigerators, Washing Machines, Dryers, Cooking Appliances, Dishwashers, Small Kitchen Appliances, Home Care Appliances, Air Conditioners, and Televisions, Arçelik production involves complex electronics and mechatronics.
Arçelik manufacturing operations span thirteen countries, making its supply chain and production processes highly variable. When external events disrupt the supply chain, raw material and component availability become critical bottlenecks. Arçelik contributes to the project by supporting validation, testing, and prototyping activities to enhance manufacturing resilience, efficiency and adaptability, building a flexible, data-integrated response framework by:
-
Integrating real-time data from suppliers, manufacturers, and logistics to improve value network orchestration
-
Simulating disruption scenarios, such as shipment delays to enhance resilience
-
Optimizing production planning using model-based production techniques and adaptive methodologies
The integration of MaaS technologies will allow Arçelik value network to reduce costs, minimize environmental impact, detect problems and make proactive supply chain and production planning, thus maintaining customer satisfaction.
