In this session, we introduce the fundamentals of NIO optimization models in Cosmic Frog. You'll learn how NIO evaluates millions of possible supply chain configurations to find the least-cost or most profitable way to meet customer demand while respecting every constraint in your network. Instead of manually analyzing trade-offs, NIO automatically determines the optimal combination of suppliers, manufacturing sites, and distribution centers to fulfill orders.
In this episode, we explore two powerful pre-run validation tools in Cosmic Frog: the Model Assistant and the Integrity Checker. Instead of running your entire model, waiting for results, and then diagnosing issues, you can catch data errors in just minutes before hitting "run." The Model Assistant flags missing essential information—like un-geocoded locations or absent production policies—while the Integrity Checker goes deeper, identifying numeric issues, unit of measure mismatches, master data references that don't exist, and data type conflicts.
In this episode, we dive into scenario building in Cosmic Frog—the heart of network optimization testing. Instead of manually reconfiguring your entire model for each "what if" analysis, you create modular scenario items that make specific changes to your data. Want to test closing a facility? Doubling demand for a customer? Removing flow constraints to see optimal behavior? Just build a scenario item, assign it to a scenario, and run. Each scenario can combine multiple items, letting you stack changes and test complex configurations in minutes.

A comprehensive Supply Chain Design process that combines optimization, simulation and risk assessment will help you understand the weak-links in your supply chain, and to quickly analyze alternatives when there are profound cost fluctuations or disruptions.
An effective supply chain structure (or architecture) enhances a network's inherent ability to resist the negative impacts of supply chain disruptions. Because supply chains are generally large and complex, they have posed a challenge to effective planning and decision making, especially when unexpected disruptions occur. This challenge ushered in an era that leaned heavily on computers and complex software to provide decision support capabilities.
Ready to build your first Cosmic Frog model? We’ve got your back. We’ll guide you through four simple steps and you’ll be on your way to answering your toughest supply chain what-if questions.
Before we can prepare for what’s next, we first need to understand the past. The importance of supply chains pre-dates us by as much as two and a half millennia! Ancient philosophers and tacticians (like Homer and Sun Tzu) wrote about “supplies” and “logistics” and how those impact military campaigns, political aspirations, and other outcomes.
Post-COVID uncertainty demands a new level of supply chain design technology. Cosmic Frog is the only supply chain design solution that offers optimization, simulation, and risk analysis across an end-to-end supply chain in a single platform, equipping businesses to make more informed decisions beyond just cost.
We’ve assembled a group of experts from the supply chain industry to build out the Professional Services team at Optilogic. Whether you’re a customer, a partner, or a prospective customer, our Professional Services team has the expertise to help you incorporate design thinking and leverage cloud-based solutions for even your most ambitious modeling, optimization, and simulation projects.
