A well-managed supply chain is characterised by its overall operational efficiency as well as the ability to effectively respond to market requirements. Thus it becomes imperative to study and figure out ways to strengthen the current operations. We provide an easy and accurate 3D animated tool that can help you improve the efficiency of your supply chain operations.
This tool allows you to build a 3D analytical, to-scale & animated model of your real-life supply chain system – and evaluate the impact of changing operational parameters or conditions on the virtual system. You can play around with various parameters – equipment, personnel and resources, or process conditions and behaviour – and visualize the results in a graphical representation.
Multiple parameters or conditions can be changed in the model to check not only the behaviour of the system – but also what quantum of change will give how much change and hence what is the optimal change and arrive at the optimal combination. The 3D animated tool can represent any size or level of detail from manual operations to fully automated facilities.
Business Intelligence (BI) performs a static analysis based on averages of historical data – which needs to be collected over a period of time. On the other hand, this 3D animated tool is dynamic over time and can take into account the variability in various operational and environmental factors. So the output from the tool will show fluctuations over time, which gives a more realistic picture. Additionally, it incorporates a far greater level of detail, which is not possible in BI. For example, BI may predict how many average pallets are handled per day –but this tool can break that down to the SKU level.
The tool can help provide answers to a range of operational needs and challenges of the supply chain:

The powerful 3D animated tool enables you to visualize realistic scenarios by trying out different combinations to improve the accuracy and efficiency of your operations and identify costs reduction areas – thereby achieving high performing supply chain operations. It is also useful in planning for a new facility or upgrades.
