Operations & Supply Chain Management
Enterprise Optimizer® models physical processes and financials. It offers companies an unprecedented opportunity to truly improve their operational performance. Enterprise Optimizer® is used to optimise supply chain networks, rationalise capacity, allocate production and raw materials to manufacturing plants, schedule shifts, optimise staffing and improve logistics performance. With Enterprise Optimizer®, a company can accurately represent its value chain end to end - from the supplier’s supplier to the customer’s customer.
Typical operational decisions that can be modelled with Enterprise Optimizer®
- What should our long-term capacity be? Which resources are the highest priority for investment in the short-term? Should we open/close any facilities?
- What are the procurement, order allocation, distribution model and inventory strategy policies that would maximise our profitability and flexibility while maintaining existing commitments?
- What is the optimal production and shift-scheduling plan?
- How should the company redesign the supply chain to improve profitability, decrease capital invested, and increase flexibility?
- What production facilities should the company expand, reduce or close? How should existing orders be re-allocated to optimise enterprise profits?
- How does moving production to a low-labour cost location affect supply and distribution costs? What will the impact be on service level to clients?
