Abstract

The SDI Supply Chain Builder Product Suite is a high-level simulation toolset that provides solutions to enterprise problems. The product suite contains four specific elements for enterprise modeling: SDI Supply Chain Builder for supply/distribution chains, SDI Plant Builder for multi-stage plants driven by schedules, Extend+Industry for high-speed, high-volume production line modeling, and the SDI Data-Framework for high-speed data import and export. These elements can be expanded for use in modeling of smaller projects such as a single packaging line to large-scale projects such as a worldwide supply chain
