Case studies

Eldorado Company, a huge electronics retailer in Russia, with stores in 350 cities, needed to determine the optimal number of warehouses, and where they should be situated, in order to better fulfill customer demand and minimize delivery and storage expenses. The analysis showed that the problem could be solved with introduction of the anyLogistix supply chain optimization system. Input data provided by the customer described potential warehousing points: rent cost, investments for building new or modernizing old warehouses, average level and cost of storage, overall costs for staffing and security, etc.

The model simulates the redesigned ground environment and production processes of the shop floor to be renovated. This is one of the significant examples of simulation modeling technology application in the metallurgical industry.

AREP, the subsidiary of «SNCF Gares & Connexions», developed a simulation model which optimized the utilizing of the Transmanche Terminal of Paris’ Gare du nord. The main goal was to reduce the waiting time upstream and at the points of control of passengers. The model enabled to locate, value and represent the possible dysfunctions in these areas.
