logistix's Introduction

LogistiX

LogistiX is a decision support tool for facility location in logistics network design. It helps make decisions about the optimal placement of distribution centers in a logistics network based on user-defined parameters.

Features

Visualization of the logistics network on a map, displaying the locations of plants, customers, distribution centers, clustered distribution centers, and optimized distribution centers.
A table showing the distribution center assignments for each customer and product.

Usage

Data Preparation :
- Provide the data file containing locations informations.
- Choose the number of plants, customers, distribution centers and number of products.
- Fix seed for the random generator
- Set optimization parameters (number of clusters and DCs to open)
- Click the "Cluster and Optimize" button to perform optimization based on the defined parameters.
Optimization Dashboard :
- The map displays the locations of plants, customers, distribution centers, clustered distribution centers, and optimized distribution centers.
- A table displays the distribution center assignments for each customer and product.
