Supply Chain Network Design
Demand is continuously changes, market conditions are changing more rapidly
than ever, product life cycles are getting shorter, and sustainability is relevant nowadays. Companies need to
answer questions like, should I make or buy, where to build my new plant or warehouse,
where to place my (safety) inventory and how ‘green’ is my supply chain, more frequently
than in the past. Supply Chain Network Design is a process that defines your supply
chain, helping you determine the optimal network, location, and size of facilities
necessary to meet your current and future business needs and align those with the
strategic direction of the company. Many supply chain issues including supply chain
network design require a quantitative framework for this analysis. Various scenarios
need to be evaluated and compared to decide between the alternatives.
Supply Chain Assessment
Not all supply chains function at the same level of effectiveness.
The goal of a Plan&Improve Supply Chain Assessment is to develop a road map for
business process changes and the introduction of software that will provide improvements
in costs and efficiency. Every business is different so is yours. It’s our goal
to outline a structure that fits the best for your company and not measure and assess
your business performance against a best practice template.
