Our team analyses your detailed operating data to quantify past performance, dynamically model your complex supply chains to forecast future performance and optimise your present-day decisions to create significant economic value.
We work with you to creatively develop and compare different business cases. Our validated dynamic and economic models empower us to understand your business holistically.
With more than 40 years of experience on over 500 projects globally, we are experts in the application of discrete event simulation to evaluate supply chain logistics and other business processes. Our in-house Transportation and Logistics Simulator (TLS) software allows us to quickly develop detailed models that capture the real-world behaviour of systems, with a rich set of object libraries that include trucking, comminution, rail networks, pipelines, bulk and liquid terminals, ports, marine transportation, and met-ocean phenomena.
Our team optimises and advises on:
- Throughput capacity
- Storage capacity & inventory variance
- Equipment & fleet sizes
- Operating strategies
- Transportation mode selection
- Inland & marine terminal design
- Marine navigation
- System debottlenecking
- Process plant design
- Financial dynamics
- Risk mitigation
Our services include business optimisation studies, Owner’s Engineer reviews of other consultants’ work, analysis of operating data, custom model user interfaces, and simulation videos for shareholder and stakeholder engagement.
Simulation model of the Dalrymple Bay Coal Terminal (DBCT) and Goonyella rail network in Queensland, Australia. This coal network is the second-largest of its kind in the world, delivering 150+ Mt/y with 6,000+ railcars. Ausenco optimised the >$100M terminal infrastructure improvement sequence by identifying those with poor ROI. We also developed and tested a sophisticated operating philosophy to minimise this complex system’s operating costs.
