Supplies a logic-based strategy.
Decide and own every decision.
Upload your 3 files and go through results, scenarios and approval, end to end.
Open your Cockpit trial →US$ per tonne delivered to the plant, all grades weighted by tonnes bought. ChemOrbis CIF Egypt prices are put on the same delivered basis. Point at a month to see all three values.
The Cockpit replay itself had 0 stop days. The stops cost about US$283k of lost production.
At every decision point, only information available on that date was used. No hindsight.
MAGZ starts acting 6 months before the trial start: its first source cycle is bought in Aug 2025, so the stock is in place from day one.
Upload your orders and monthly stock, pick a start month and run it. ChemOrbis prices are built in.
Open your early intervention trial →Run this on your last two years.
How it is calculated, for each experience gap vs the ideal leader: Buying cost = gap × 17% (MAGZ 5-year average saving) × annual spend · Production stops = gap × stop days with no expertise × tons produced per day × contribution margin per ton (the lost margin, as in MAGZ Cockpit). Fixed in this example: 300 production days a year and 60 stop days a year with no sourcing expertise. % of purchases = annual loss ÷ (polymer bought × delivered price). The ideal leader is the zero line.
MAGZ adds no new machinery: every risk ends in one of the six settings the Cockpit already reads, so its effect on price, sources, cover and timing is calculated the same way as any other market change, and every change is logged.
Route risk is also rated by origin region, from local supply to routes through Hormuz.
