Running an efficient intra- and inter-site transport and logistics system is a critical business activity for many companies. Whether you plan or run your own systems or do so on behalf of clients, Paragon can help.
While it is often relatively straightforward to optimise individual aspects of a company's operations, when it comes to logistics and overall site management, things become much more complex. However, optimising this 'linking' aspect of operations is often far more critical to overall performance than maximising the theoretical efficiency of individual processes - after all, an efficient process can become rather inefficient if it runs out of materials to process or is clogged with its own output.
The problem is that the interactions between separate but interdependent processes and discrete events and the bottlenecks that can occur are very difficult to foresee, as are the impact of breakdowns, peaks in demand or other 'irregular' events.
A Paragon model can help you plan and optimise service levels to:
case studies
Tesco
Distribution Centre
Tesco needed an independent assessment of the impact of proposed changes and whether efficiency and loading time targets would be met. The materials handling supplier recommended Paragon Simulation.
Wedgwood
Fine China Products
Paragon used the model to confirm and demonstrate the cause and extent of the problems envisaged on overall centre operation of their new multi-million pound automated storage and retrieval system.

"The results provided by Paragon were then used as a basis for Wedgwood to negotiate for changes with the systems integrator before final commissioning started."
