Supply Chain Simulation

Large variety of orders leads to complex supply chain resulting in opportunity for errors and inefficiency. Rockwell Software Arena Simulation Software Supply chain simulation application to take real-time orders, batch orders and evaluate alternative batching logic.

The CEDC developed a supply chain simulation model to enable them to better plan and batch orders for shipment. This Arena Simulation model obtained real-time order information from the existing Microsoft Access Database. The database included important data like country, due date, shipment date and quantity. A special user interface was developed to specify additional parameters, like working hours, resource availability and Quality Control inspections. Through the user interface, it was also possible to test various strategies, such as time-based or quantity-based batching. With this supply

Enhanced order processing due to reduced errors Rapid evaluation of alternative batching strategies Reduced training time from 6 months to 1 week
