A Supply Chain Digital Twin is a detailed digital model of a supply chain, which uses real-time data and snapshots to forecast supply chain dynamics. It helps analysts understand a supply chain’s behavior, predict possible failures, and formulate contingency plans. In addition, Supply Chain Digital Twins can assist with bottleneck discovery, identifying and monitoring risks, transportation planning, inventory optimization, forecasting and testing operational scenarios.

The SCOR Model: Benchmarking and Business Process Analysis
Anglicotech uses the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) Model to describe the business processes involved in satisfying a customer’s demand through a supply chain. The SCOR model is organized around six primary management processes: Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, Return and Enable. We provide the experts who can implement SCOR modeling and define related performance metrics. With the SCOR framework as a baseline, our team can map your organization’s Business Processes, assess benchmark data from industry and compare it to your company’s performance. These insights drive improvement to your organization’s performance and customer service.
Case Study 1: Supply Chain Illumination and AI-Enabled Forecasting
Anglicotech is assisting the Marine Corps Deputy Commandant, Installations & Logistics in implementing Artificial Intelligence (AI) enabled, data-driven Supply Chain forecasting processes and communicating repair consumption data to the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA). The goal is to aggregate data from the point of consumption to DLA, establish a demand baseline for the Marine Corps to wargame global inventory plans, and optimize the supply chain network across the Force. The concept of Supply Chain Illumination at scale can significantly reduce risk.
Advanced Technology Implementation
Advanced technologies, such as Additive Manufacturing, Unmanned Systems and Blockchain, provide new opportunities for enhancing and modernizing Supply Chains. However, identifying the technologies that will yield the greatest return on investment can be daunting. Our team is experienced in helping organizations filter through the noise and make sound decisions about which new technologies to adopt. We also have expertise in the supporting processes of systems integration, design, testing, cyber security, maintenance planning, training and sustainment.
Case Study 2: Operationalizing Business Process Mapping
The Marine Corps Logistics Command’s (LOGCOM) mission is to provide worldwide, integrated logistics and distribution management, depot level maintenance management and strategic prepositioning capability in support of the operating forces. The LOGCOM Quality Management Center (QMC) provides policy review, quality control inspections, process improvements, and change management throughout all LOGCOM operations, with the goal of meeting the emerging needs of the 21st Century while eliminating deficiencies and waste.
Anglicotech performed a comprehensive review and revision of the QMC’s management strategies, processes and tools, while specifically providing remedies for known deficiencies such as: lack of policy oversight, poor compliance, lack of reliable information systems, lack of accountability for weapons and equipment inventories, ineffective management and training.
