Supply Chain Design

Strategic inventory management, network design and warehouse design.

Strategic Inventory Management

  • =Optimized Production Decisions – strategic determination of what to manufacture and what to procure.
  • =Inventory Policies and Decoupling Points - establishing suitable inventory decoupling points and appropriate stocking and ordering policies.
  • =Service Level Optimization - Setting optimal target customer service levels and fine-tuning inventory levels for maximum efficiency.

Network Design

  • =Holistic Distribution Strategy - formulating a comprehensive inventory distribution strategy (locations and capacities) to enhance overall supply chain performance.
  • =Location-Based Inventory Capacity Planning - conducting inventory capacity planning tailored to specific locations within the supply chain network.
  • =Inventory Placement - strategically placing inventory throughout the supply chain to minimize carrying costs while ensuring product availability.

Warehouse Design

  • =Optimal Sizing - determining warehouse sizes that align with operational needs and inventory demands.
  • =Strategic Location Planning - choosing strategic warehouse locations to optimize supply chain efficiency.
  • =Efficient Equipment and Material Handling - implementing the most effective equipment and material handling solutions to streamline warehouse operations.
  • =Layout and Flow Optimization - designing warehouse layouts to minimize travel distances, reduce congestion, and improve overall efficiency.
  • =Technology Integration - incorporating technology solutions, such as Warehouse Management Systems (WMS), RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification), and barcode systems, to enhance visibility, accuracy, and control over inventory and operations.
