A logistics and distribution operation

Logistics

Logistics and supply chain simulation under real conditions

Build a working model of your distribution and warehouse flow, test changes under real-world variability, and clear the bottleneck before you commit a single resource.

The approach

See the process clearly, then prove what to fix

A supply chain is only as fast as its tightest constraint, and that constraint shifts as volume and variability change. ProcessModel builds a working model of the flow, from inbound through warehouse and out to delivery, with finite capacity, queues, travel time, and variability all in play. Run a discrete event simulation to see throughput and bottlenecks under realistic conditions, then test distribution process improvement ideas safely before you commit trucks, space, or people. It is the same modeling that drives bottleneck analysis and continuous improvement on the floor, applied across the chain.

What you can model

What you can model in logistics

A working model of the work, run as a real simulation, so the real constraint is obvious.

    Supply chain and distribution

    Model the flow from inbound to delivery with real capacity, queues, and variability, and see how the network behaves before you change it.

    Warehouse and fulfillment flow

    Lay out receiving, putaway, picking, and shipping, then run it with real volumes to find where work and orders pile up.

    Transportation and routing

    Test carriers with finite carrying capacity, travel time, and routing rules, and measure the effect on throughput and cost.

    Throughput and bottlenecks

    Rank every step by the time it adds with Impact Analysis, so the real constraint in the chain stops hiding behind the obvious one.

    Inventory and replenishment

    Model stock, multiple SKUs, reorder levels, and replenishment, and test the policy that holds service levels without overstocking.
