Network Planning & Design
It is a one-stop solution for supply chain network allocation planning and network footprint design. Network allocation planning includes production planning, outbound logistics allocation planning, transport mode-mix selection, and end-of-period inventory build-up for a single period or multi-period horizon. Network footprint design includes the roadmap for investment in locations and capacities of plants, warehouses, and depots in order to create a new supply chain network or to expand or modify the existing network. In both cases, the solution uses large scale mixed integer linear programming model that maximizes total contribution margin or minimizes total cost to serve while meeting projected demands and satisfying constraints of capacity, availability and minimum economic utilization of resources.
Network allocation planning &design solution is a mathematical optimization modeling based solutions that helps an organization to undertake optimal planning of manufacturing and logistics allocations. It helps to meet demand of all products in all markets in the maximum contribution or least cost way while satisfying the service level targets and capacity constraints at various stages in the supply chain.
