4 A Look at SupplyChainGuru.com SupplyChainGuru.com is a SaaS-based supply chain design platform that enhances the Supply Chain Guru desktop design software by extending model data, solving and output to the Web. Here is a look at how SupplyChainGuru.com works. Design Using Supply Chain Guru, then leverage the solving power of the cloud. Designers can create models in Supply Chain Guru desktop, the industry s leading supply chain design software. When the model is ready to run, the designer uploads the model to SupplyChainGuru.com with a simple mouseclick for solving and sharing. Or, choose to simply solve the model in the cloud and send the results directly back to Supply Chain Guru, or build a model directly in SupplyChainGuru.com. Solve large models and multiple scenarios more rapidly using SupplyChainGuru.com s ondemand cloud processing power. View solving status and move to output analysis or update model data and re-run. Easily view and compare multiple scenarios and then use SupplyChainGuru.com s reporting tools to create vibrant charts and maps to visually convey model results to others. Centralize all projects and models and related data so that the information needed is always available, always current and accessible to all.

5 Plan for alternate potential network and demand structures by enabling planners with the organization to run their own what-if scenarios using existing models. By empowering planners with easy-to-use modeling capability using the latest enterprise data, businesses can accelerate consensus, decision-making and implementation of supply chain improvements. Assign roles and model access levels to others within the organization with simple role-based administration tools.

6 How SupplyChainGuru.com Works Within the LLamasoft Supply Chain Design Platform Much like product lifecycle management (PLM) applications enhance the value and capabilities of computer-aided design (CAD) by integrating people, data and processes, SupplyChainGuru.com gives supply chain designers a collaborative platform to expand the value of supply chain modeling throughout the organization. SupplyChainGuru.com DataGuru Data Guru enables simplified access to disparate enterprise data sources, then cleanses and blends data to ready it for modeling and analysis Planner Viewer Viewers can review model outputs such as dashboard views for executives, personalized reports for clients, or decision-support tools for other roles within the organization Designer Designers can create models in Supply Chain Guru or directly in SupplyChainGuru.com. Then, synchronize and upload the models for cloud solving, report creation and sharing with others within the organization Planners can be given the ability to change key variables within a model and then re-run to test results, empowering a new population of people within the organization with the power of design thinking

7 Empower More People in the Organization with Supply Chain Design Technology Category Activity Designer Planner Viewer Admin Administration Set up and define user roles Define security levels for users, models and data Assign rights to users (sharing, data/model access, etc.) Model Building Create new projects and models Create model structure and policies Import and edit data Define constraints, capacities and costs Define fields and ranges editable by Planner Publish/share projects and models Scenario Management Create new scenarios and sub-scenarios Edit scenario data within allowed fields and ranges Set up sensitivity analysis Run models Publish/share model results Visualization View sites and flows on maps View and compare scenarios on maps, reports and graphs Set up and view dashboards for shared models and scenarios Publish/share maps, reports, graphs and dashboards
