An apparel manufacturer deployed Digital Twin for Supply Chain Optimization in Consumer Goods. rockwellautomation.com reports no complete outcome metric.
What the apparel manufacturer was trying to fix
Apparel manufacturer needed to transition from a national to regional distribution model without disrupting business or negatively impacting customer satisfaction. Arena Simulation Software was used to develop a detailed simulation model covering source shipments from manufacturing to the distribution facilities and then to the customers. The company evaluated nine different transition scenarios against cost, resource requirements and customer satisfaction. As a result of this simulation activity, the apparel manufacturer was able to implement a smooth transition from National to Regional Dist
