Distribution and Network Optimisation

Optimise your plants, your network – or both, together

Solve the Business Problem – Not the Local Problem

With multiple assets, multiple users and multiple constraints, finding the best overall operating conditions for your business can be a challenge. Forming part of Spiral Unified Supply Chain Management, Network assists in bringing together the modelling knowledge and business experience of different groups, so helping to find robust, realisable value within total supply chain assets.

Building Networks of Knowledge – Alongside Profit

Using the same models, data and user experience as Plan, Network integrates multi-site modelling with supply distribution. This empowers businesses to understand and identify interactions between assets and helps users to make the best decisions using rapidly changing – or uncertain – input information.

This feature extends the revolutionary capabilities of Plan, so integrating multi-plant optimisation with supply and distribution network optimisation. This makes it possible for enterprises to support multiple assets, users, teams and workflows – all at once.

Manage Grouping, Exchange, and Logistics

Easy-to-configure grouping of assets and constraints makes life much easier for users. With minimal setup required, these groupings can match real-life problems, with logistic and contract constraints alongside exchange agreements.

These high- or low-fidelity models enable quick problem solving, with easy expansion and maintenance. Network allows users and enterprises to define and analyse using their preferred tools, while still taking advantage of the single source of knowledge central to Spiral Unified Supply Chain Management.

Isolate or Combine Plants and Networks

Whether working alone or as part of the broader organisation, allow users to securely share decisions based on approved information.

From identifying inter-plant transfers to enable company assets to work better together, to managing remote terminal operations and building confidence and value with final customers – Network enables enterprises to re-use, update and share information, fast.

Eliminate laborious, iterative workflows by modelling and solving all assets as a whole.
