• Key Concepts: 
  A subnetwork is a component of the SCM-WI Warehouse Insights system. It is a set of nodes and edges that represent the relationships between different warehouse locations, products, and other entities. Subnetworks are used to model the flow of goods and materials within a warehouse, allowing for better optimization of resources and improved efficiency.
  
  How to use it: 
  Subnetworks can be used to identify bottlenecks in the warehouse, as well as to optimize the flow of goods and materials. They can also be used to identify areas where additional resources may be needed, or where existing resources can be better utilized. Additionally, subnetworks can be used to analyze the impact of changes in the warehouse layout or operations on overall performance.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating a subnetwork, it is important to consider the relationships between different entities in the warehouse. This will help ensure that the subnetwork accurately reflects the flow of goods and materials within the warehouse. Additionally, it is important to consider how changes in one part of the warehouse may affect other parts, as this can help identify potential problems before they occur.
  
  Related Information: 
  Subnetworks are closely related to other concepts such as network analysis and graph theory. Network analysis is used to identify patterns in data, while graph theory is used to model relationships between entities. Both of these concepts are important for understanding how subnetworks work and how they can be used to optimize warehouse operations.
