Pharmaceutical companies, CDMOs and CMOs continue to grapple with the tension between meeting the demand for increasingly diverse pharmaceutical products and the escalating challenges in ensuring supply, especially during periods of disruption.

In the current extreme VUCA (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous) environment, chemical producers are learning the importance of operating with insight and agility. At the same time, companies are being tested for the depth of their resilience, and learning how to navigate huge shifts in demand, supply, workforce and economics, and emerge from this crisis in a stronger position.

In depth look at the Smart Tune engine- The new Sequential Multi-Objective Optimization (SMO) technology is a step change from traditional APC optimizers. The new algorithm eliminates any LP cost tuning by enabling users to explicitly specify the APC controllers’ objectives.

The energy industry has been hit hard by current global economic interruptions: rapid drops in demand, a changing mix of preferred products, plummeting crude prices, difficulty staffing essential production sites and fragile supply lines. Energy companies are re-examining their digital capabilities and increasing their focus on digitalization as an essential strategy.

Discover how to predict equipment breakdowns and perform prescriptive maintenance using a new approach to asset performance management. In this white paper, learn how nine early adopters of prescriptive analytics have reduced unplanned downtime and improved asset reliability. Download the paper to read real stories about the bottom-line results that have been achieved—in as little as 2 ½ weeks.

When delivering an estimate on time and on budget, learn why it is important to focus on the components that matter most.

Chemical manufacturers are facing a dual challenge with global demand increasing. On one hand, chemical production has to increase to address the growing demands of a growing global population. On the other hand, the industry is facing a climate and an environmental crisis.

When hyper compressors fail, the cost of production losses can range from tens of thousands to millions of dollars per occurrence. In this white paper, learn how companies are using Aspen Mtell to recognize the early indications of hyper compressor failure, reducing unplanned downtime and catching problems earlier—allowing more lead time to take appropriate action.

Learn the six best practices in planning and scheduling that will enable plants to advance their technological maturity—making your plant more reliable and profitable.

Risk analysis is generally performed in the later stages of design to prove that the plant will deliver what it’s supposed to. However, some clever practitioners are now employing it much earlier to speed up decision-making and lock in superior design choices when they really matter at the beginning of the project. In this paper, learn how Aspen Fidelis Reliability uses a systems approach that allows you to quantify the true value or cost of any design or improvement project, maintenance change, operations improvement or supply chain constraint.
