Improve business performance with SAS Viya

We can now see in almost real time how much time we lose in a day. If that number increases during the day, we can immediately adjust the production planning of our other orders. Of course, the system will let us know within 15 minutes whether it was the right decision." Peter Wijers ICT and BI Manager Euramax

Premium coil coater Euramax uses SAS Viya to attain transparency in production planning and prevent production delays.

The nature of the company’s products means that orders often change. With SAS, the impact of a change is immediately calculated within the order so that employees can respond to changes in a timely manner and make informed decisions. Euramax accurately predicts what it will produce in the coming week and has even more control over its planning.
