Best Practices – Supply Chain Design and Optimization Projects

Best Practices – Supply Chain Design and Optimization Projects

In this presentation, presenters from SimWell share practical insights into building effective supply chain design models. They explain why success starts with clean data, realistic assumptions, and strong alignment between project teams and stakeholders before any modeling work begins.

The session demonstrates how mapping the current supply chain network and using a structured data checklist can reveal data gaps and challenge incorrect assumptions early in the process. Special attention is given to transportation data, including freight rates, transportation modes, shipping lanes, and service requirements, all of which play a critical role in creating accurate and reliable models.

The presenters also discuss the benefits of using soft constraints during the early stages of model development, enabling teams to generate results faster, identify issues sooner, and refine their models through an iterative approach.

This presentation is part of the anyLogistix Conference 2026 – a unique demonstration of supply chain simulation and optimization from companies around the world. Learn more about anyLogistix features and advantages.
