A recent article over on Industry Week pointed out how Simulation is Empowering Product Engineers to Save Time, Money (and the Planet Too).

According to the article, simulation helped:

• NatureWorks design a new biodegrade chip bag for SunChips,
• Balzer Pacific Equipment Co. design and manufacture a new barge to carry 6,000 tons for a client that required less steel and saved $20,000 in steel costs, and
• Unverferth Manufacturing Co to create a new strip-till subsoiler in only 3 months that was ten times stronger than its predecessor, required less parts and cost thousands less to make.

Optimization offers similar benefits to your supply chain. It:

• allows you to redesign your supply chain network to be more efficient,
• allows you to source the optimal amount of product at the optimal cost, which saves you a ton of money,
• and allows you to complete sourcing projects in weeks that used to take months.

So stop waiting and just do it.
