Logistics Planning & Execution

CDM specializes in developing quality logistics planning software that meets the specific needs of each customer. Our collaborative applications support logisticians as they perform planning and re-planning tasks in dynamically changing environments. The agent technology embedded in our systems further assists users to process vast amounts of operational information by analyzing plan requirements, generating plans to deliver requested items to the right location on time, and creating the reports necessary to execute a plan.

Our software applications can:

• Integrate tactical, operational, strategic, and assessment planning.

Our software can integrate multiple aspects of logistics planning to fulfill a customer’s needs. Once a plan has been generated, the system continues working to find better plans until all possibilities are exhausted. For example, in a disaster relief effort our software could efficiently calculate an inventory of supplies needed, determine the optimal transportation routes to deliver those supplies, and respond to changes in plan requirements or weather conditions as they occur.

• Create detailed reports and graphs spanning an entire plan.

Our software enables a user to view feasible options within a plan through reports, charts, and distribution schedules. These reports help users determine available transportation routes and conveyances, re-supply timelines, and operational costs.

• Process multiple operational data sets.

Our intelligent agent-based software can handle multiple operational data sets to generate viable plans. In a logistics planning environment, the fulfillment of numerous supply requests involves managing several data sets, each of which could include current inventory, available conveyances, and delivery timeframes. Our software can process these data sets simultaneously to create feasible plans.

• Produce alerts for warnings and violations.

When warnings or violations occur, our agents notify the user and provide suggested remedies for all identified issues. These alerts include conflicts in schedule timing, equipment and supply availability, or weather changes that make existing plans impracticable.

• Generate plans for "what-if" scenarios.

Through "what-if" scenarios, our software can provide alternate plans that account for changes in requirements or operational environments. These alternatives can be generated during any of the planning phases, depending on user needs.

• Plan operations for short- and long-term missions.

Our applications can plan the logistics for operations spanning a wide range of timelines. This enables logisticians to modify the scope or timeline of plans at any moment in order to meet mission requirements.
