Supply Chain Design

Supply chain strategies that meet today’s needs while growing with business changes and innovations

Supply chain strategies that align with business change

Most of the value a supply chain can deliver is captured in the design. But establishing a well-researched supply chain strategy that can provide value indefinitely is not viable.

Instead, our domain experts create supply chain solutions that both align with today’s demand and help you maintain that alignment as requirements and costs change and new innovations come to light.

By identifying fact-based strategies for supply chain network configuration and material flow, you can support your organization’s strategy while positively affecting profitability and customer satisfaction.

Practical, innovative solutions for meaningful supply chain outcomes

Increase the value of your supply chain and seamlessly navigate changes that require you to reinvent or refine your supply chain strategy.

Cost to serve and true profitability analysis
Act on profitable opportunities across your customer base and products with solutions that enable fact-based decision-making on product, customer segmentation and supply chain design. We prioritize holistic cost-to-serve assessments, analyzing all relevant cost triggers across departments — including sales, marketing and finance — to create immediate solutions and sustainable integration.
Supply chain network opportunity assessment
Our supply chain network opportunity assessment quickly estimates the benefits of a redesigned network. By analyzing current structure, costs and performance metrics, we identify opportunities like supply and demand facility realignment, location adjustments (add/removal), production offshoring and transportation related structural changes to enhance efficiency and savings.
Supply chain network design
Our analysis gives you the facts to determine how to serve customers most efficiently, consolidate new assets or expand into new markets or products.
Supply chain design capability development
Build and maintain a team and associated business processes to support the ongoing supply chain design needs of your enterprise. Based on our decades of experience in working with successful teams, we can help you establish realistic maturity goals and define the path to move from your current to desired state.
Supply chain segmentation
Improve efficiency by defining customer and product segments based on how supply chain resources are consumed. We classify logistically distinct products (LDPs) and logistically distinct customers (LDCs) based on manufacturing capacity, inventory, transportation and service requirements.
Supply chain carbon footprint analysis
Realistically measure greenhouse gas emissions, calculate energy consumption and foster an environmentally responsible supply chain. Using specific energy differentials and an activity-based carbon content approach, our framework quantifies your carbon footprint to address information required by your stakeholders. We enable ongoing emissions reporting and assist in setting emission-reduction goals, aligning your management team to a shared sustainability goal.
