must-have capability to keep up
with the pace of change and
sustain a competitive advantage

2015 LLamasoft, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Leaders have created centers of

excellence and put in place an
integrated supply chain design
platform and business process

An Integrated Supply Chain Design

Platform Enables Businesses To:

Quickly generate models to help visualize and

analyze the current supply chain operations

Validate potential supply chain changes and

continuously test new what-if scenarios
Optimize the supply chain for the right balance
between cost, service, sustainability, & risk
React rapidly to unplanned disruptions, market
fluctuations, or new business strategies

2015 LLamasoft, Inc. All Rights Reserved

Multi-Echelon Safety Stock optimization allows the model to achieve savings

in working capital while simultaneously maintaining or increasing service
level to stores

Scientifically quantify cost or benefits of service level, sourcing, and

contractual lead time agreement changes.

Combine with network optimization to set optimal inventory planning

policies. ie Reorder point, order quantities by site by product

Model can automatically profile historical sales data or use forecast and
forecast error as inputs

IO Select functionality allows automated filtering of products with nonnormally distribution demand
