Key Features
Discover the main benefits of the tool.
SIMULATE THE IMPACTS ON YOUR NETWORK
Run different scenarios to analyze the impact of supplier outages or natural disasters on your Supply Chain. Simulate demand changes in certain regions and markets, or validate your current network for future growth.
COMPARE THE SCENARIOS
Compare your current network structure with potential future scenarios based on costs and lead times. See the main KPI differences with real-time analysis and visualization of simulation results.
GROWTH AND RISK ANALYSIS
Simulate the growth possibilities in certain regions and segments, and analyze the growth impact on your current network. Analyze the risk KPIs and compare all scenarios at once using parallel coordinates.
WORK WITH YOUR TEAM MEMBERS
Easily input and manipulate data through a user-friendly interface. Save or load simulations for later usage, or use collaboration features and work together with your team on a simulation.
Use Cases
Resolved with a perfect solution for complex network design projects.
New Supply Chain Design
A company that is considering a major overhaul of its supply chain can use the tool to test out different configurations and see how they might perform in terms of cost, lead time, and other factors. This can help the company make informed decisions about whether or not to proceed with the redesign.
Optimize the existing structure
A company that is looking to improve the efficiency of its existing supply chain can use the tool to try out different configurations and identify opportunities for cost savings or performance improvements.
Disruption impact analysis
Companies can use the tool to simulate different types of disruptions (e.g. natural disasters, supplier outages) and see how they might impact their supply chain. This can help companies better prepare for and mitigate the effects of such disruptions.
Growth Simulation
A company would like to analyze the impact of growth assumptions in certain regions and markets. It is important to check if the current supply chain design can effectively support the additional load, or if not, which changes in the design are necessary.
