Profit Network (PN) optimization
tool is a stand-alone planning software package that
is used to design the most profitable supply chain
distribution network. Profit Network can be used to
analyze the placement and location of production facilities,
distribution centers, and warehouses over a multi-period
planning horizon. Profit Network is used to help firms
restructure their supply chains after mergers, periods
of rapid growth and in anticipation of geographic or
product preference shifts in the market.
Profit Network
allows the user to model their existing or proposed
supply chain for a geographic area, with
its locations, flow limits, and costs. Input data include
raw material sources and costs, plant locations, plant
production rates and costs, warehouse and distribution
center locations and costs and customer locations and
anticipated demand.
Benefits
Profit Network will evaluate projected costs for “what
if” scenarios. The user can add or remove sites
and change cost assumptions and capacity constraints.
Profit Network includes a leading commercial optimization
engine. Model results can be viewed as tables of
flows and costs, in Microsoft Access or Excel, and
the system
provides a visual display of the manufacturing plant,
warehouse, and customer locations in service region.
Profit Network displays results in either MS MapPoint
or the MapInfo framework.
