Abstract
Systems and methods for supply chain design and analysis to optimize costs associated with a supply chain are described. According to an embodiment, the supply chain management system comprises a data extraction module, an analysis module, and a presentation module coupled to a processor. The data extraction module obtains supply chain data from one or more data sources. The analysis module analyzes a plurality of parameters and at least one future state map to ascertain at least one business scenario. Further, the analysis module identifies flow constraints in the at least one business scenario based on a flow analysis. Further, the analysis module selects decision parameters from amongst the plurality of parameters based on the flow constraints and a simulation feedback. Further, the analysis module simulates at least one experimental design based on the decision parameters. Furthermore, the presentation module generates, a plurality of maps based on visual analytics.
