Supply Chain Simulation Software

Supply chain simulation software helps you manage supply chain challenges, reducing costs, and improving customer service. By providing deep and clear insight into the complex networks of suppliers, carriers, and freight forwarders, simulation can supercharge your supply chain and redefine your competitiveness.

Clarity when analyzing your supply chain and when forecasting makes for good decision making, this is what simulation provides. You can explore the interrelated, dynamic, and random events that influence your business, quickly and clearly. Explore “what-if” scenarios, stress-test your system and refine strategies by utilizing real-time data in a digital twin.

Simulate the digital transformation of your supply chain and understand how the technologies of Industry 4.0 will affect your business. With a digital supply chain, you can experiment with the future, now.

AnyLogic supply chain simulation models enable you to gain deeper insights and optimize complex systems and processes. A powerful supply chain analysis tool, able to integrate with your current workflow. See what supply chain simulation with AnyLogic can do for you.

Using supply chain simulation software is the key to detailed analysis and valuable development in your organization.

Beyond simulation modeling with anyLogistix

End-to-end supply chain analysis are integrated in anyLogistix (ALX) — bringing you a powerful new generation of software.

The ALX user interface is tailor-made for logistics specialists, combining the AnyLogic simulation engine with the optimization abilities of the IBM ILOG CPLEX solver in one supply chain software.

Every supply chain is unique!

Model yours, analyze it, and optimize. Then, using the same supply chain model, run simulation experiments for safety stock estimation, risk analysis, and cash flow planning. You can model your supply chain as it exists in the real world, from the network level, to inside the four walls of your operations. With both detailed statistics and live animation, results and observations can be easily understood. ALX supply chain planning software gives you the power to simulate, experiment, optimize, and innovate for your supply chain.

Example supply chain simulation models

These companies trust us

I go back with AnyLogic to the very beginning: over ten years now. Ten years ago, AnyLogic was what I call the only industrial strength product that had a hope of doing both system dynamics, agent based, and discrete event in one package. As best as I can tell, it’s still the only package that has that capability. As we do more especially in the realm of agent based models, there are some open-source tools, but none of them has anything close to the functionality that AnyLogic does.

Dr. Mark Paich, Director,
PwC
The benefit of agent-based modeling in AnyLogic is to truly model our supply chain. Each of the agents we use in our simulation can correspond to vessels, distribution centers, ports of loading, ports of discharge, our retailers, etc. with their own behaviors. AnyLogic makes it easy for me to give our many agents their own customizable behaviors and let them interact together in a fully integrated software.

I’ve been using AnyLogic for about three or four years now, and I found that it’s probably one of the better solutions out there for really being able to implement models if you don’t necessarily have a very extensive coding background to start with.

Joseph Simkins,
Battelle Memorial Institute
One of the most important AnyLogic features is the ability to build our own libraries. We only have to build them once, but can use them multiple times in different models.

Gunnar Feldmann, Assistant Operations Research Specialist,
Norfolk Southern Corporation
We chose AnyLogic for three reasons, technology, support and people. I think AnyLogic has the best technology in the simulation software industry, it has the agent based, process based and system dynamics, plus it is written in Java, which means many available resources and ease of finding people who can model in AnyLogic since many know Java code. AnyLogic can be deployed on the internet, you can develop an AnyLogic model and easily share with colleagues, partners, etc.

AnyLogic is a tool where a modeler can implement any of his ideas. Easily, fast and with enjoyment. A special thanks to the AnyLogic documentation and Support Team! Their perfect work makes your induction into AL world smooth and happy!
