Simulations

Models and Simulations are tools being applied to operations, decision making, analytics and optimization. Working with ALTS Canada (https://www.altscanada.com/), we create models of logistics, transportation, financial, location effects, energy feedstocks and other key variables for food, power and water security. 

  • ALTS can adjust each of the variables independently and simultaneously using simple visual tools that can be operated by a non-expert.  
  • As we adjust the variables, we can examine the resulting effects on the manufacturing cluster and can intrinsically and visually understand how the different variables interact to produce different outcomes within the computer simulation.
  • This “face value” analysis, backed up by the algorithms within the simulation allows for sophisticated analysis of the different options available, and allows us to design an optimized deployment for services.
  • Gives a geospatial (map-based) view of operations and allows non-technical personnel to adjust different parameters to see the overall effects.
  • Similarly, computer simulation will also allow us to optimize production within a facility and also to predict the effects of external threats and to design a ‘playbook’ to compensate for these variables.  Computer simulation also allows operators within the facility to achieve peak performance within their operations. Some of these external threats may include;
    • Storms and weather.
    • Commodity price changes.
    • Regulatory changes.
    • Civil unrest.
  • Supply chain disruption.
  • Large amounts of data created allow for the use of AI/ML to identify patterns. 

Competitive Advantage

We have chosen to work with ALTS Canada (https://www.altscanada.com/) because:

  • There are no known competitors who supply comparable computer simulation-based logistics and risk management services or integrated with artificial intelligence tools.  
  • There are several companies that provide management consulting services around risk or logistics.  There are also several companies that provide computer-based tools, however ALTS has a unique holistic approach that has not been duplicated.
  • In addition to the above, ALTS has the following capabilities
    • 25 plus years operational experience with computer simulation
    • Experience modifying computer simulation for different risks and outcomes
    • Experience managing small and medium projects and participating as team members on larger projects ($1B plus)
    • International experience in USA, Central/South America, Europe and Asia with strong contacts across multiple markets to bring the best solutions forward
    • Experience working as a partner on complex technology projects
    • Agile software development practices, techniques and procedures for on-time and on-budget delivery
    • Strong management team with 100+ years cumulative experience
    • Comprehensive experience working with governments, international financial institutions and foreign and domestic businesses
