There are several steps involved between existing ERP data and a sound decision.

In the case of a digital twin, they can be broken down into four components:

1. Consolidate data: The relevant operational data is integrated and organized.

2. Modeling Interrelationships: The supply chain, along with its planning and control mechanisms, is modeled.

3. Simulate alternatives: Different settings and scenarios are calculated.

4. Evaluate results: Service levels, inventory, and costs form the basis for specific actions.

Each of these steps affects the validity of the results. A simulation can only take into account the relationships that are adequately captured in the model.

That is why data validation and modeling are just as much a part of the work as the actual calculation.

In this blog post<\/a>, we explain how these four building blocks work together at DISKOVER.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
