Chesapeake forms sponsor groups from its international client base in the petroleum, chemical, paper, and manufacturing industries to fund the development of software products for production planning and scheduling. Its MIMI products provide an interactive decision support framework for planning and scheduling with application modules based on OR, expert systems, interactive graphics, and data-base methodologies. If a sponsor is satisfied with the product, it is entitled to a company-wide licence to use it; if not, it can use its contribution to license any other Chesapeake product.
