Net WORKS Strategy is a module in a suite of enterprise profit optimization products from Manugistics.
The software employs proprietary database structures and tools to interact with the databases.

Software Architecture and Software Architecture and StructureStructure NetWORKS Strategy 6.2 uses a Server – Client
Networked Architecture– Fat Server
Stores object oriented databases Runs the model processes Manages the Manugistics domains
– Thin clients Interacts with data objects Initiates model processes Displays outputs of Optimizer output

NetWORKS Strategy 7.0NetWORKS Strategy 7.0
Scheduled for release fall ’02.Transitioning to a Fat Client – Thin Server
Web Enabled Architecture in Version 7.0 scheduled for release later this year.
The new version will use relational databases rather than proprietary object oriented databases.

““Optimizing” the Supply ChainOptimizing” the Supply Chain
Optimizing - Achieving the best possible solution to a problem in terms of a specified objective function subject to model inputs.
The objective function can either be profit maximization or cost minimization.
Optimum is defined subject to a set of constraints and the input data.
LP or MIP solutions to the Optimization problem.

Why a Model?Why a Model?
Across an enterprise the number of possible solutions is extremely large.
An automated, systematic tool that seeks the best solution is valuable in supporting the decision making process.

Optimization Example, LPOptimization Example, LP
Profit: Guns = $2 per unit, Butter = $1 per unit 2100 units of raw material available
– Butter requires 3 units, guns require 7 units per unit produced
2400 units of machine time available– Butter requires 8 units, guns require 3 units per unit
produced 400 units of labor available
– Guns and butter require 1 unit each to produce

Optimization Example, MIPOptimization Example, MIP
Suppose that we can construct one or two plants to make guns and or butter and that each plant has a unique set of labor, machinery, and raw materials constraints.
Further suppose that each plant sells their output into markets with different output prices and service requirements.
Requires MIP as some decision variables are discreet.

Real World ExampleReal World Example
Monsanto Corporation1000’s of products, 1000’s of resources,
hundreds of suppliers, thousands of customers, world-wide distribution.
Millions of constraints.Need a model. Need a reliable, automated
technique to solve the model.

Using NetWORKS 6.2Using NetWORKS 6.2
Invest some time in scoping out your analysis.
Include just enough detail necessary to answer the questions being asked of you.
Do not let the scope of your analysis expand.
