Volatile fuel costs, operator shortages, and congestion at port facilities, air
freight hubs, and roads are key issues that confront companies at an ever increasing
rate. Transportation costs as a percent of cost-of-goods-sold are extremely high,
and are often the single largest cost component throughout the corporate supply
chain.

LLamasoft’s transportation modeling solution enables users to model their entire
supply chain network, incorporating alternate transportation options and key variables
such as cost, time, capacity, and delivery parameters. Users can identify an optimal
transportation plan, based on the end-to-end costs and user-defined service constraints.

The system will also help companies determine the optimal number of transportation
assets and containers, and where these assets should be positioned. Using simulation,
analysts can help emulate routing strategies and test new strategies to predict
actual costs and service levels. Optimal daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly plans
are output to set inventory levels, schedule production, and define distribution
routing. Simulation can also be used to validate the plan before implementation.
