Steve Conway at HPC Wire asks the question: Is supply chain management poised to become an important new application for HPC?
The answer would seem to be that it's already happening. At the Council on Competitiveness' annual HPC Users Conference on September 7, Wal-Mart's Nancy Stewart said that Wal-Mart uses HPC not only for ergonomics such as light control, but for shelf space determinations, store planning and resource planning: "We can't spend a dollar of investment on HPC or anything unless we can see the ROI. That's why we had to make the investment in HPC." Posted by Rich Brueckner [HPC Article of the Day] ( September 18, 2006 05:00 AM ) Permalink
