Argon Consulting, a French supply chain consulting firm servicing the automotive, retail, consumer products, pharmaceutical and utility industries, is to begin using supply chain network design technology from Llamasoft.

Supply Chain Guru, the technology involved, incorporates greenhouse gas/carbon footprint simulation into its analysis.

"Argon Consulting selected LLamasoft due to its industry-leading technology, including the effective combination of simulation and optimization technology, and the inclusion of environmental constraints," said Frederic Noel, a partner at Argon Consulting.

The work that Argon focuses on reportedly spans the entire supply chain, including sourcing, manufacturing, planning and distribution.

"The Argon Consulting alliance strengthens our rapidly expanding partner network and gives us a quality solutions provider in Europe," says LLamasoft executive vice president Toby Brzoznowski. "It is vital to LLamasoft to have partners that effectively employ our technology to provide leading-edge solutions, particularly those that are environmentally conscious."
