The challenge

The challenge

Our client is a global industrial actor with annual revenues in excess of €20 billion, nearly 70 production plants worldwide, and operations in more than 170 countries.

His local to local strategy is to manufacture a product near the point of sale. It poses difficulties due to market heterogeneity and to the industrial capabilities covered by the factories, which differ from one plant to another.

So where should he manufacture his products when product ranges tend to renew themselves more and more quickly?

Solution

Solution

With Cosmo Tech Supply Chain, a realistic and exhaustive Prescriptive Simulation Twin of the strategic supply chain and production centers. The software was designed to:

  • Model our client’s multiple production & distribution centers and its complex flows
  • Create a baseline model that could serve as a foundation for more granular models to analyze specific situations
  • Predict the environmental impact of each scenario.
  • Identify the product families which drive CO2 emissions

Thanks to the Cosmo Tech Supply Chain, 80,000 scenarios were simulated to find the best capacity investment and identify the best production centers to manufacture his products.
