According to Aaron Berg, VP of River Logic Strategy, the Digital Planning Twin, specifically within River Logic’s system, is distinguished by its meticulous cost modeling approach. In crafting a comprehensive plan for production volume, a key concern is predicting the resultant financial outcomes.

This necessitates a detailed breakdown of costs into their essential drivers within the business structure. Rather than providing a fixed cost, this approach involves specifying raw materials, considering procurement options, and accounting for various cost implications tied to different vendors.

Additionally, it encompasses production-related costs like electricity, packaging, and labor, with a nuanced understanding of labor costs tied to specific work centers and production throughput. The result is a tool that not only forecasts costs accurately but also offers insights into optimizing shifts, overtime, and inventory, ensuring economic fidelity in planning and decision-making.
