Supply Chain Guru has a plethora
of features and benefits. Below you will find some of the
best…
|
|
Supply Chain Guru is the commercially
available supply chain analysis package that combines full
mixed-integer/linear programming optimization power with
the predictive power of discrete event simulation. It first
uses network optimization to find the best configuration
for your supply chain, and then uses network simulation
to predict and test the effects of making the changes.

Guru's flow chart interface is
the easiest way possible to add new sources, move connections,
try out alternative structures. Automatically make new sourcing
links with a point-and-click connector on the flow chart,
and the model tables are automatically updated. [figure

Our integrated world geo-database
provides location information for every part of the globe.
As you analyze your system, display metrics flow directly
on the map. You can communicate results and recommendations
with powerful, exportable graphics. [figure 2a & 2b]

|
You can't determine actual service without incorporating
demand variance. Anyone who tells you something different
is giving you bad advice. Supply Chain Guru models inventory
in a realistic manner, and enables you to determine the
true service rates you will encounter with various inventory
strategies.

All Guru models are stored in
a SQL-compliant database for ultimate flexibility in piping
data into model tables. All model results are also stored
in the database, enabling you to retrieve simulation and
optimization results through SQL, and publish directly to
other applications or web pages.
|
|
With auto-sense data table filtering,
you can quickly pull the policies you are interested in
out of very large tables, then apply automated changes to
only those records. Editing difficult data sets is made
fast and easy.

Dash Xpress MP is an industry
standard in optimization technology.
Guru automatically writes these models and uses the Xpress MP optimization
solver to solve extremely difficult optimization problems.
You can even create your own custom constraints, model structures,
and data elements, and import them into a Guru optimization
model, for total flexibility.
|
|
Coding a network simulation models
manually can take weeks and months, even for the experts.
Guru builds simulation models in seconds or minutes using proprietary 64bit simulation engine, enabling
you to model as many different scenarios as you want, quickly
and easily.
|
|
Guru has pre-defined supply chain
policies for inventory control, manufacturing processes,
transportation modes, and sourcing decisions.
Question: how can you make a supply chain
decision if you ignore capacity constraints, random variance,
or true customer service rates?
Answer: you can't! With Supply Chain Guru,
you can incorporate all of the relevant issues into your
analysis and get the right answers.
|
|
Experience has shown that some
models require a level of detail that isn't already included
in Guru's existing policies. Guru has a powerful custom
logic scripting language, enabling you to replicate the
more complicated planning algorithms in your supply chain.
