Logistics
Improving one’s ability to react to customers’ requirements,
while at the same time reducing production and transportation
costs, is a challenging issue for every company. Quantitative
optimization is an asset in this context. Thanks to its proven
skills in mathematical modelling and numerical analysis, Artelys
performs studies and develops customer-designed tools to optimize
their supply chain.
Artelys can help you to optimize your decisions at each level
of the supply chain:
•
Demand forecast: Improving reactivity
requires a better anticipation of future orders and a proper
estimation of the consequences of their variations on the
whole supply chain. Artelys conducts quantitative studies
on the demand forecast and, thanks to an accurate modelling
of the customer’s supply chain, carries out dynamical impact
simulations.
•
Purchasing and sourcing strategy:
Within a global context, the large number of potential suppliers
makes the selection of the optimal suppliers’ portfolio extremely
difficult, especially when every supplier’s constraints (limited
capacity, transportation costs, production lines, etc.) have
to be taken into account. Artelys chooses the right methods
and develops the most suitable tools to be able to select,
among thousands of possible scenarios, the optimal one, i.e.
the one that displays the minimum cost while complying with
all the constraints.
•
Production planning: Artelys has
developed the Artelys
Kalis calculation module, specifically designed for scheduling
problems and their specific constraints (set up time, parallel
operations), and based on advanced constraint programming
techniques. Thanks to Kalis, Artelys carries out studies and
designs specific tools for short, mid and long term planning.
•
Stock Optimization: Goods storage
induces capital and treasury costs, which emphasizes the importance
of an efficient stock management in the perspective of a cost
reduction strategy. Artelys performs studies and designs tools
to determine the optimal working point of a storage facility,
while minimizing the risks.
•
Location of production sites or warehouses:
Before deciding about the future location of warehouses or
of new production sites, many scenarios need to be elaborated
and investigated, with various line products, line capacities,
site size, etc. Artelys carries out specific studies and points
out the best layout, thanks to a suitable modelling that includes
all the parameters of the problem.
•
Transportation network optimization:
To handle a complex system, Artelys uses quantitative techniques
of optimization to define the best possible scheme of transportation,
determining the values of the key parameters: lot sizes, container
volumes, etc.
