Production planning is one of the most complex industrial challenges of the steel industry. To address this complexity, metals manufacturers have developed several IT solutions and business processes. However, in addition to complexity, the production process is systematically affected by unpredictable events. In most plants today, responding to production disruptions is a human decision made by operators - often leading to response time issues that can cause production downtime and additional costs. The smart agent technology provides a remedy.

The world is changing. Over the past decade, several factors have contributed to increasing volatility, uncertainty, complexity, and ambiguity (VUCA) in metals supply chain ecosystems. Not even to mention disruptions brought by global crises. Last but not least, climate change and the need for all supply chains to become sustainable also applies to metals manufacturers. The focus here is on material supply, which must become more intelligent. But how can we initiate such a metamorphosis? And most importantly, how do we achieve it in a sustainable way?
