FreightMatrix Logistics Network Design
The speed of change in today's global supply chain is accelerating rapidly. Changes in consumer demand as well as changes in suppliers
and logistics partners occur at every increasing frequencies and force companies to constantly redesign their logistics networks to remain profitable and
competitive. FreightMatrix can enable enterprises to analyze and design their supply chains to best meet the cost and service level challenges successfully.
The solution is designed to support key strategic decisions at each stage of the supply chain; from raw materials procurement to finished goods distribution.
The solution can provide insight into the tradeoffs between alternative strategies regarding site location, facility missions, product mix, transportation
strategies, inventory deployment strategies, and supply chain operations.
Through "what-if" scenarios, customers can task FreightMatrix to find the most efficient network to satisfy all user-defined
requirements. This allows users to determine the lowest cost transportation network that satisfies a company's customer-focused objectives.
FreightMatrix capabilities include the ability to:
- Optimize key decisions
- Make discrete decisions using optimization
- Validate the robustness of decisions through simulation
- Combine optimization with simulation
- Model supply chain and business constraints intuitively
- Investigate a wide range of “what if” scenarios
FreightMatrix also provides comprehensive logistics analysis and planning to provide an organization with the information necessary to better use
and manage its transportation network. It delivers the powerful "what-if" analysis through a user-friendly interface that allows rapid modeling
of multiple transportation configurations. FreightMatrix uses sophisticated optimization tools and real world data to define scenarios in
transportation management to analyze the effects of:
- New business
- Historical performance
- Peak flows
- Other business variables
