Simulate your next move. Before you make it.
Connect research and ERP data to the economics of your business. HED-G Quant simulates the interplay of purchasing, inventory, and financing to help identify where costs can change.
Enterprise operating data
Compare the total cost of each choice
01 / A problem from the field
The opportunity was beyond production.
A metal manufacturer was exploring 1–2% reductions in production costs per item. After introducing AI-IRIS in its laboratory, a combined analysis of research and ERP data exposed another cost driver.
The capital borrowed to buy materials. And the interest it carried.
We connected material demand, purchase schedules, and bank borrowing in an ontology. The analysis indicated that adjusting financing costs could offer a larger opportunity than incremental production savings.
- 01
Research to demand
Connect research data accumulated in AI-IRIS to material requirements
- 02
Demand to funding
Analyze purchasing, inventory, and borrowing records from ERP together
- 03
Funding to decisions
Compare purchasing and financing conditions through simulation
Historical backtests and ongoing forecasts are in progress. This case describes an identified opportunity, not realized cost savings.
02 / The decision model
One decision. Connected costs.
Buying earlier may secure a better price while increasing inventory holding time and interest costs. HED-G Quant is an enterprise simulator built to examine these connected effects.
Purchasing
Price · volume · timing
Financing
Principal · rate · duration
Holding
Stock levels · storage time
Shortage
Delays · supply disruption
Model the behavior and interactions of economic entities across supply, finance, and logistics. Evaluate enterprise-data scenarios against historical records and forecast subsequent changes.
Illustrative cost dimensions for material procurement. Models and constraints are defined for each enterprise environment.
03 / Explore scenarios
Change the conditions. Reconsider the decision.
Select a decision to explore the data and cost relationships involved.
Buy now, or when needed?
Conditions to change
- Demand date
- Expected purchase price
- Material arrival schedule
Effects to examine
- Pricing benefits of an early purchase
- Inventory duration and financing interest
- Delivery and supply reliability
Does the price advantage offset the cost of holding materials longer?
