With numerous SKUs, facilities, customers, routes, data systems, and stakeholders, supply chain leaders face the challenging task of capturing the envisioned supply chain synergies resulting from M&A.
In this webinar, we discussed best practices for:
- Mapping supply chains to create a meaningful baseline.
- Aligning facility locations with customer demand.
- Reducing travel miles for cost savings and CO2 emission reduction.
- Combining facility consolidation with transportation strategies.
- Using advanced stochastic models for decision evaluation.
The demo included how to:
- Capture the supply chain, explaining soft data.
- Create GFA to find the number of warehouses for comparison.
- Compare travel miles baseline vs. alternatives and CO2 emissions.
- Illustrate cost-to-serve with synergy strategies.
- Compare keeping warehouses in the west vs. shipping by air from the east.
- Explain uncertainty and stochastic demand scenarios.
