ORion-PI
ORion-PI® is a powerful and proven supply chain network optimisation tool that:
- Determines the optimal supply chain network structure and operating policies from a cost, profit and/or service perspective
- Assesses the opportunities, risks, feasibility and implications of different supply chain strategies
- Simulates new supply chain models
- Audits and benchmarks supply chain performance
- Determines the optimal approach for responding to changes such as increased growth, acquisition of a new business, divestiture of a division, etc
Using ORion-PI, we can conduct fact based analysis to support supply chain decision making enabling our clients to act with confidence and deliver superior cost, capital, service and asset efficiency improvements. This in turn results in superior Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) performance.
Achieving Real Results
ORion-PI has a multitude of capabilities to deliver supply chain optimisation
- Revolutionary optimisation and modelling technology based on state of the art combinatorial algorithms that form the basis fully integrated planning and optimisation capabilities which can be deployed together to form customised solutions
- To efficiently design your network we offer you an End-to-End approach which covers every relation within the supply chain, from customer relationships, production plants and distribution centers to suppliers, manufacturers and distributors.
ORion-PI allows the adaptation as well as the re-design of your network structures. It is also possible to design a complete new network
- The software represents essential attributes of the network, such as locations and production lines capacities routes / methods of transport supply relationships customer markets product allocation material flows, and the related costs.
- Simulations enable the design and immediate comparison of alternative scenarios. Transparency is gained through tools for the graphical as well as tabular visualisation and analysis. They highlight optimisation potential and serve to detect the optimal, realistic network scenario for each business objective.
Typical optimisation tasks deal with:
- An integrated analysis and optimisation of the existing supply chain
- What-If scenarios
- Network consolidation
- Identification of cost drivers
- Strategic location planning
- Optimal product allocation
- Optimisation of transport modalities and routes
- Inventory optimisation
- Operationalised strategic planning
- Potential analysis
