Case Study: GlaxoSmithKline achieves optimized vaccine supply chain planning with AnyLogic

Supply Chain Planning for Vaccine Manufacturer with Simulation Software

GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) needed to design a new supply chain for a vaccine launch in a new market, but the product’s complex manufacturing steps, strict quality controls, batch production, and expiration-sensitive materials made planning difficult. GSK used AnyLogic simulation software to support supply chain design and decision-making for this challenging vaccine supply chain.

AnyLogic, implemented by Fair Dynamics Consulting, created a simulation model of both manufacturing and distribution so GSK could test scenarios, assess risks, and refine policies before rollout. The solution helped GlaxoSmithKline optimize costs and service levels, support reliable 24-hour delivery, improve short-term planning and forecasting, and increase confidence in supply chain decisions.
