Network Design and Supply Chain Modelling

Designing your ideal supply chain network requires increasingly sophisticated modelling solutions that can cope with the challenges that companies face in a world of global operations. We know that every challenge you face has a number of solutions, only a handful of which could be right for your business. Teamed with our unique methodology, our specialist network modelling software CAST will allow you to identify the right strategic path, when standing at the crossroads.

Flexibility is a key feature that allows CAST to model specific parts of a supply chain, for example demand modelling alone or alternatively all elements of a global supply chain can be considered within one model. Fixed business constraints can be integrated with optimisation methods to produce outcomes that are both customised and cost minimised to specific business criteria.

Widely recognised as one of the leading solutions in the market, CAST functionality facilitates global supply chain network modelling with mapping, locations and road network databases for any combination of countries in the world.

Our inventory optimisation modelling tool, Optimiza, complements CAST by identifying and quantifying the causes of, and requirements for, inventory at each point within your supply chain and can be used in combination with or independently of our CAST software. We also offer a full suite of professional services, designed to allow you to reach your full supply chain planning potential. These can be used in tandem with or independently of our software.

More than 600 companies and 4,000 people involved in supply chain planning across Europe, the USA, Asia Pacific, Australia and Africa have, in partnership with Barloworld Supply Chain Software, gained better control of their supply chains and created opportunities to model the future of their companies. We would be delighted to share some of our individual experiences with you. Please contact us for our case studies and testimonials.
