Transportation Optimization
Inventory DeploymentFacility Design
Network Structure
Examples of Targets of
Optimization:
• Service Level
• Cost to Serve
• Consolidation / Expansion
• Leverage current assets, with considerations for potential design changes at each facility
• More mature supply chains tend to benefit from this approach, rather than a “greenfield” design strategy
• For high capital networks in mature markets – in-depth facility reviews are crucial to optimize the network
• Must be based on actual budgets, timelines, risks, expectations, roadblocks, etc.
AN INTEGRATED APPROACH IS CRITICAL

Supply Chains are Faced with Mounting Internal and External Pressures
Key Steps to Design your Future Supply Chain:
► Determine Your Future Supply Chain Needs
► Develop Alternatives How to Best Accomplish
► Model the Scenarios
► Finalize the Business Case for the Solution
New Technologies Make it Easier than Ever to:
► Visualize
► Evaluate Scenarios
► Conduct Sensitivity Tests
► Simulate Future Network
Tools are Only as Powerful as the Inputs and Those Driving the Analysis

WAREHOUSE DESIGN & OPERATIONS
The key to good warehouse design is the integration of these factors to create a single, well-functioning system
Operations Optimization
Process Focus
Design Impact
Smooth Flow
Maximize
effectiveness of
1) production
process
2) human capital
Ensure smooth flow of
work, material and
information through
the system
Good design is process-
oriented and builds from
the inside out
