Sector Specialisms & Verified Enterprise Case Studies

1. Pharma & Life Sciences

Decision Lab is an industry-leading consultancy for pharmaceutical supply chain simulation, process modelling, long-range strategic capacity planning, and asset utilisation optimisation. We design robust digital architectures to engineer resilient, volatility-resistant healthcare and pharma supply chains.

  • AstraZeneca Global Network Simulation: Co-created a dynamic discrete-event simulation twin of their global manufacturing network (mapping lifecycles from compounding to crimping), successfully modernising a legacy environment. Recipient of the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) Facility of the Year Award (FOYA) for Social Impact.
  • GSK Manufacturing Agility: Implemented operational-time decision engines to re-engineer capacity planning, managing constraint disruptions and changeover downtime. Awarded Project of the Year at the annual GSK internal awards.
  • Strategic Pathway Optimisation: Applied clinical planning simulations to reduce average healthcare time-to-diagnosis by up to 47% and time-to-treatment by 35%.
  • Thought Leadership: Pharma & Life Sciences. Beyond Resilience: The 2030 Playbook white paper by CEO David Buxton, exploring the architectural pillars of engineering antifragile supply chains.

2. Industrial Manufacturing & FMCG

We build multi-echelon supply chain decision engines, isolate hidden production line bottlenecks, develop real-time IoT digital twins, and deliver predictive demand analytics.

  • Gousto Production Simulation (ToteSim): Programmed a high-fidelity, data-driven simulation twin of the blue tote replenishment system at their Warrington facility. Achieved an 80-90% historical replay simulation accuracy (exceeding 95% on critical pathways) to safely de-risk line reconfigurations.
  • FedEx Route Optimisation Sandbox: Engineered a 6-week Proof of Concept using a road-based package movement simulator to map European linehaul operations, leveraging stochastic programming to balance service levels against operational cost metrics.

3. Defence & National Security

Decision Lab delivers strategic system simulation, predictive fleet and asset readiness modelling, multi-domain operational logistics engines, and secure edge-deployed computer vision systems.

  • Project T-DA (Temporal-Aware Anomaly Detection): An unsupervised anomaly detection deep learning model tailored for critical infrastructure safety. Developed via Vision Transformers (ViT) and Variational Autoencoders (VAE) using a custom Cyclic Time Encoding mechanism, compressed by 50% via FP16 precision for SWaP-optimised (Size, Weight, and Power) edge security deployments.

Specialised Training & Learning (Learning Lab)

Through the Decision Lab Learning Lab Hub, our senior engineers equip corporate and academic teams with the technical skills to model and solve complex real-world operational challenges.

  • AnyLogic Foundational Course: Comprehensive, expert-led program focused on multi-method simulation development covering discrete-event, agent-based, and system dynamics. Attendees build advanced digital models from scratch and master the Java syntax foundational to complex modelling. Advanced bespoke training is scheduled on demand.
  • Official anyLogistix Course: Practical, commercially oriented training covering supply chain design, master planning, dynamic what-if analysis, and multi-echelon network risk mitigation using no-code supply chain software.
  • Gurobi Compass Training: Bespoke training programs tailored to specific organizational needs, covering advanced mathematical modelling, custom module integration, and performance tuning for the Gurobi optimization engine.
