Voyager Network Design
Pinpointing supply chain structural decisions that directly impact your top and bottom lines
Logility provides a cost-based global perspective on your overall supply chain that lets you expertly balance the critical factors of time, geography, costs, and capacities to create a network consistent with your business goals. Voyager Network Design helps you make smarter decisions on key questions regarding sourcing, production planning, distribution strategies, capital investment, facility and asset location. And much more.
Voyager Network Design models the supply chain based on a topology of sites representing suppliers, facilities, markets and the transportation links between them. Using known costs and capacities, an accurate depiction of current supply chain behavior is created, and then multiple alternate supply chain scenarios are analyzed. The result is a comprehensive supply chain picture describing both the real-world behavior of today and the benefits of transforming the network to cost-effectively meet tomorrow's needs.
Spanning global and local analyses gives you a comprehensive supply chain picture while mastering constraint points down to a single machine at a specific plant, or a single process within a specific distribution center.
