“We don’t take a cookie-cutter approach. Every business, project, and goal is different and my job is to make sure that your supply chain uniquely fits your needs.”
Network Modeling
Good times or bad, markets move quickly these days. You need a supply chain that is innovative and can evolve with changing conditions.
Supply Chain Solutions can create the model to drive efficiency, improve service and get products to market faster.
We start by analyzing your existing supply chain strategy, transportation and distribution network, sourcing/manufacturing locations, and delivery destinations. However, we don’t take a cookie-cutter approach. We first take into account regional differences in labor, land, taxes, utilities and economic incentives; then we apply proprietary modeling tools to determine the optimal number and location of distribution centers, cross-docks and other logistics facilities.
After we identify distribution network options, SCS will determine the proper types of transportation for your products. By combining network analysis with cost-based routing and mode selection, we will develop the optimal supply chain network to run your business effectively.
