Our Supply Chain SMEs lean heavily on our Data Scientists to help our customers optimize supply chains, delivering flexibility and resilience with the best Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). Our propriety software tools allow us to model possible supply strategies and footprint scenarios to calculate their relative ROI, considering buffer inventory, cycle-stock, duty, freight cost and inventory in transit. We have extended our TCO logic to create TCO2 – a clear quantified measure of the carbon impact of each supply scenario to support our customers in their ESG commitments.
Examples of Supply Chain Optimization Projects
Compare a network of in-country DCs against holding stock globally at the manufacturing site.
Calculate whether the increased inventory and reduced flexibility of monthly consolidated containers instead of small daily express parcel shipments is justified by the freight saving.
Based on historical consumption data determine the correct level of spare-parts stock for each item to deliver a 5-day turn-around time for 98% of service orders.
Provide objective data views on cost, working capital and supply-chain risk to support executive management in a strategic decision whether to reshore outsourced production from China to in-house US or out-sourced US.
