What is a Digital Planning Twin?

Many times to explain in a bit more detail what we mean by digital planning twin, River Logic. So for us, digital Planning plan is a model of your entire value chain. I mean, we're talking about end end value chain. But really, what's going on inside that model is you have told this digital planning to end what your business is capable of. For example, if you're a manufacturer, you will tell the digital planning to when I manufacture these products at this plant. I manufacture these products at this point. But beyond that, you tell them what you can do So I could manufacture those products at either plant. If I did, here's how they would run. This will be their throughput and cost. Here's the labor that will be required, etcetera. Once you tell your digital planning twin, what your capabilities are, you can then ask a question. So you can say things like if I need to manufacture these kinds of products. Since I can do them in any which way, what would be the best way to do it? So the final piece of that digital planning plan is not just the capabilities and constraints on what you can do within your business, but some sort of goal that you can tell the digital planning twin to try to achieve. So here's an example. I build a digital planning twin that encompasses maybe a couple of manufacturing operations, raw material sourcing, inbound logistics, outbound logistics, distribution, and my market. I've told the digital planning to and what all my capabilities are. And I've even told that those capabilities at a highly detailed level, for example, I have a particular production line at this factory. The here are the raw materials that it's gonna consume, here are the different products it can make. Each product has its own throughput, It could have a labor cost associated with it. It could have a production cost associated with it. Any other constraints that I wanna put in there to tell the model what's possible. And then I say, okay. If I have a particular set of demand or a particular, market that I could potentially, go into, What would be the best way to do that with regard to, let's say, making the most money, profitability? Or what would be the best way to achieve a certain volume at the lowest cost. So you're asking the digital twin, you're using this digital planning twin. To not only build a plan, but build a plan within your capabilities that meets your, goals. And that's really in a nutshell what the digital planning script is.
