Placing roll stock replenishment orders based on historical consumption can perpetuate poor or inappropriate inventory mix which can cost plants hundreds of thousands of dollars. Supply Chain Simulator (SCS) eliminates the guesswork from ordering roll stock by determining roll stock levels based on what should have been used rather than what was actually consumed. SCS can also determine the impact of adding, losing, or moving business from one facility to another—-proactively.
