Supply Chain - 2 Echelons

This application demonstrates a typical use case for optimizing supply chains. This is particularly suited for manufacturers or distribution companies interested in minimizing their transportation costs from their warehouses to their customers. It uses a mathematical model to find the optimal selection of warehouses to cover customer demand.

This application can be easily tailored to suit various supply chain configurations and constraints.

Supply Chain

Understanding the Application

In this application, you can navigate to explore the input data and the optimal solutions generated.

Data page

The first screen is the 'Data' page. Here, you can view all the input data for the supply chain problem, including a list of 60 potential warehouses and 197 customers and their related information. You can also view a map showing the locations of potential warehouse sites as well as all the customer locations.

Data page

Scenario Management

This page allows you to create and modify scenarios. You can adjust parameters such as:

  • The number of warehouses to be used.
  • Select specific warehouses to be used in the solution.
  • After setting the parameters, you can submit the scenario to launch the optimization engine and then get the 'optimal' solution.

Scenario Creation

The results include a solution map showing the selected warehouses, customer locations, and routes used to service each customer. Additionally, you can view metrics such as total carbon footprint, total transportation cost, and average transportation cost per unit shipped. Charts displaying the volume of demand handled by each warehouse and the number of clients assigned to them are also available.

Scenario Results

Comparison

This page enables you to compare two different scenarios by displaying their solution maps and metrics side by side.

Global Comparison

Here, you can compare all scenarios or selected scenarios using charts that represent various metrics, providing a comprehensive overview of the optimization results.
