Optimizing Copan’s Supply Chain Design
Our team helped Copan design a high-performance medical device distribution model with the support of a supply chain Digital Twin.
Copan is an Italian medical device manufacturer that specializes in high-quality, cutting-edge sample collection products for infectious diseases, human genomics and environmental and forensic applications. Their solutions support critical laboratory workflows where reliability and traceability are essential. A resilient and efficient supply chain is central to their global operations.
Leveraging AnyLogic simulation software, IndX developed a Digital Twin that replicates Copan’s supply chain structure, inventory behavior and customer demand patterns. Within this model, our team ran As-Is scenarios to validate current performance and To-Be scenarios to understand how a new distribution center would affect inventory levels, replenishment behavior and product aging risk.
The simulation allowed Copan to compare logistics strategies without disrupting operations, giving them clear visibility into which configuration would strengthen service reliability and overall stability.
Insights from the To-Be scenarios helped Copan reduce overstock levels and minimize obsolescence through better inventory positioning. The supply chain also became more resilient to market variability thanks to the identification of a more effective inventory management approach.
Together, these results provide Copan with a validated, data-backed path toward a more efficient and reliable distribution network.
IndX is a global software developer and system integration leader. We combine supply chain expertise with advanced simulation capabilities to help organizations evaluate complex logistics decisions before implementation. Our approach provides customers with clarity, reduces risk and supports long-term operational excellence through informed, evidence-based planning.
