Strategic Supply Chain Design

Strategic supply chain modelling involves the input of all elements of the supply chain into a single, integrated model to allow each key cost driver to be optimised against a set of criteria. Manufacturing constraints, customer service levels etc, are all considered and the final model is represented both graphically, and financially.
We use a variety of techniques and software to build bespoke supply chain models to accurately reflect your business operating in the real world. The software includes the following:-
Considers suppliers, production facilities, DC’s and customer demands
-
Local, regional and global modelling capability
-
Optimum depot locations based on demand, supply and service levels
-
Optimum network structure trading off:
