/24-7PressRelease/ --
River Logic, Inc., a leading provider of
corporate performance management and
predictive modeling software, today announced that
Wausau Paper, with concentrations in specialty technical and premium printing papers and away-from-home towel and tissue products, has selected
Network Design & Optimization (NDO) Planner to better configure their network to meet strategic objectives.
NDO Planner will enable supply chain planners to design more efficient supply chain networks through advanced analytics, what-ifs, and optimization, which consider constraints and objective functions. With NDO Planner, planners can determine facility location and capacity requirements; evaluate different transportation and inventory strategies; execute profitability and cost analysis; and perform M&A evaluation - all from a financial perspective.
NDO Planner distinctively offers the unique ability to integrate full financials with network representation.
Decision-making by senior executives and planners is effectively supported by NDO Planner. The supply chain network optimization solution overcomes planning challenges by:
- supporting full CAPEX evaluations, including depreciation and cash flow and optimizing to maximum NPV and ROI or profit
- quantifying the opportunity cost of constrained capacity to identify critical bottle-necked resources
- evaluating alternative network design scenarios, including location and sourcing for procurement, manufacturing, warehousing, and logistical assets to find the solution that delivers the optimal combination of cost, customer service, and working capital
- allowing multiple what-if analyses to be analyzed simultaneously from all angles
"Our goal is to help manufacturers find ways to contain costs and improve return on capital expense allocations without sacrificing customer satisfaction or the flexibility to react to unplanned situations - a critical task in today's economic climate," said
Carlos Centurion, COO for River Logic. "We're pleased NDO Planner was selected by Wausau Paper. It's the ideal solution for helping manufacturers strategically optimize their supply networks."
