Optimized Production & Distribution Capacity
Optimized Production & Distribution Capacity, & ‘What-If’ Analysis
Maximized profit by optimizing time and cost models simultaneously
Optimized transportation, logistics, production, and distribution capacity using scenario analysis.
SITUATION
The client wanted a tool that had resiliency-based What-If analysis with provision for cost planning weeks or months in advance. It should have the ability to identify and mitigate gaps.
Also, study and account for the impact of human factors on fulfillment rate and velocity.
CHALLENGES
-
Find the best way to fill the pipeline with different suppliers.
-
No existing simple way to do urgency and Time & Cost analysis.
-
Elasticity of supply chain & demand led to dynamic workload.
-
End-to-end supply chain had a lot of moving parts, each with different areas of concern.
This had to be done while ensuring employee safety. We suggested best/worst-case scenarios, as applied to the entire supply chain.
Highlights
-
Optimized transportation, logistics, production, and distribution capacity.
-
Scenario analysis & optimization using ‘What-If’ Analysis
-
Model for entire quarter & load (number of people v/s estimated demand).
-
Financial resiliency analysis.
BENEFITS
-
Allowed users to consider multiple suppliers simultaneously, provisioning for instant substitution.
-
Maximized profit by optimizing time & cost models.
-
Multi-dimensional modeling capabilities. For instance, use ‘Time’ as a parameter for ‘Last mile optimization’.
