Norske Skog Australasia has been utilising a powerful tactical supply chain optimisation model, known as PIVOT, for a number of years. Since 1999 users of PIVOT relied on spreadsheets for constructing input data files and creating reports. Recently a menu driven interface was developed for PIVOT using a Microsoft Access database. Input data is extracted directly from the database and solutions are written back to the database each time the model is solved for reporting purposes. Users are able to easily configure PIVOT to suit their particular need. In this paper we describe the aspects of the design of the system and demonstrate the flexibility that its development has provided to the supply chain planning team.
