We support our clients in helping them understand and quantify optimization scenarios in their supply chain networks. This would include location of Distribution Centres and sizing, inbound and outbound transportation network modeling and inventory deployment investments. All three elements would be articulated in annual operating costs or cost of capital.

We typically help our clients answer the following questions

1. If we were to optimize our distribution network, how many facilities do we need, what would be the approximate square footage, where should they be located?
2. What would be the annual operating costs of the new optimized network?
3. With this new network what would our transportation network look like in terms of modes, shipment sizes, volumes?
4. Which customers would be served from each distribution centre?
5. What would be the impact of the new network on the amount of inventory required at each facility?
6. How would the new network improve service levels to our customers?
7. How can we optimize and redesign our transportation network to reduce overall costs and what actions need to be taken to implement these changes?
