What problems can Logility Network Optimization solve?

Logility Network Optimization performs classic network design analysis using “continuous flow” simulation supported by its proprietary solver and a library of traditional solver technologies (LP, MIP, Heuristic):

On map solving:

• Unlimited number of tiers/paths
• Classic constraints – max flow, min flow, and “yes/no” by product
• Continuous running solving (user can add facilities or lanes, can enable/disable facilities/lanes, or click and drag nodes around and the solver will recompute the optimum flows)
• Fixed and variable costs

User Activated Solver Library: Access to any number of stock, custom, or user created solvers. Stock solvers include:

• Solve for any service facility
• Solve for best X facilities
• Solve for next best X facilities
• Solve or a target service level (and cost)

Here are just some of the use cases you can perform:

Classic Network Design Strategy

• Inbound/outbound flow optimization
• Distribution strategy
• Warehouse location selection
• Divestiture/Acquisition
• Logistics road map development
• Evolution road mapping
• Continuous Flow Simulation

Network Management/Maintenance

• Service time management
• 3PL selection/qualification
• Supplier selection
• Freight carrier selection
• Cost to Serve Analysis
• Sustainability Modeling (roadmap)
• Calculate and Optimize for Green House Gas Emissions (roadmap)

eCommerce

• Facility sizing and selection
• Cost vs. service analysis
• Zone skipping
• Omni-channel node planning

S & OP Support

• Disruption recovery and redirection
• Customer – DC matching
• Promotion planning
• Miscellaneous Analysis
• Employee drive time analysis
• Reverse site selection
• Field technician density hiring
• There are a lot of creative uses of Logility Network Optimization…
