Planning & simulation
Test the plan before the plant has to live with it.
Model what happens when a shipment is late, a line goes down or demand shifts — using current operational data — and compare options before committing.
For: Planning and supply chain leaders, plant managers
01The challenge
Why this is hard today
Plans are often rebuilt in spreadsheets every time something changes, using data that is already out of date.
The reasons behind a planning decision are rarely recorded, so the same trade-offs get re-argued every week.
