anyLogistix 3.4 by The AnyLogic Company, USA anyLogistix is supply chain design and planning software that combines analytical optimisation with dynamic simulation. Networks are optimised with the IBM ILOG CPLEX solver, then tested in simulation for time-dependent effects, random events and operating policies. The simulation runs on the AnyLogic engine.

Key Capabilities

• Network design and greenfield analysis Determines the number and location of facilities and the best network configuration. Greenfield analysis works from a minimum of input data.

• Dynamic simulation Tests what optimisation cannot: time-dependent factors, random events and policy logic for inventory, sourcing and transport.

• Inventory optimisation Simulation-based safety stock experiments find the balance between service level and inventory cost.

• Risk analysis Simulates disruptive events and measures their effect on cost and service level.

• Transportation and last mile Optimises delivery routes down to end customers, with GIS map visualisation and KPI comparison.

• Cost to serve Allocates network cost to customers and products, as an extension of network optimisation.

• Supply chain digital twin Connects to ERP, MRP and WMS data so the model reflects the current state of the supply chain.

New in Version 3.4

• Results comparison Data standardisation sets common distance, product, financial and time units across compared results.

• Total demand type Demand can be entered as planning-period totals, e.g. monthly or quarterly quantities, without reformatting the data.

• Distance-based transport costs Volume, processing and fixed trip costs in one transportation policy, with separate rules and fixed delivery charges per distance range.

• Independent result storage Experiment results are kept apart from scenario data, so earlier outputs survive scenario changes.

• Supplier options "Consider inclusion" and "Initially open" let the optimiser decide whether supplier facilities open or close.
