Manage supply chain complexities to improve scalability, reduce cycle times, and cut operating costs
Manufacturers face increasing customer demands for on-time, in-full orders at minimal cost. It takes a resilient supply chain network design to meet these expectations. We help manufacturers rise to this challenge by coordinating demand planning, inventory control, supplier inventory management, and logistics using AI and advanced analytics.
Analyze the location, form, and function of distribution centers and transport lanes.
Identify bottlenecks, optimize routes and inventory, and collaborate with suppliers to shorten cycle times.
Enable your third-party providers to operate cohesively to boost service levels and reduce costs.
Assess projected cost savings versus estimated network redesign costs to manage risk and deliver higher service levels.
Our approach: An end-to-end supply chain orchestration
We begin with a current-state assessment to benchmark your supply chain performance. Then, we work with you to understand your operating goals and analyze research findings – simulating trade-offs such as reducing your manufacturing footprint and cutting transportation costs – to create future-state strategies. Next, we run financial and risk assessments to provide the best-fit design for your needs. Finally, we outline transition tasks, one-time costs, sequencing, and cash flow recommendations.
