Summary
In today’s supply chain world of ever changing customer requirements, companies need to continuously evaluate the set-up of their supply chain network. This comprises of the number and geographic location of their manufacturing and distribution facilities. Groenewout has an extensive track record in these kind of studies with companies as Canon, JohnsonDiversey, Ideal Standard, Nestlé, Voridian (Eastman Chemicals) and Philip Morris. Our experiences and project approach are described in detail in this presentation. This starts with the definition of the business requirements (delivery reliability, lead-times, contingency plans) that the future supply chain footprint must facilitate. Following this process the actual, real-life supply chain set-up is modelled in supply chain simulation software. Through this software multiple supply chain scenarios are quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated on:
- Operational costs (transport, warehousing & inventory)
- Required investments
- Customer Service
- Tax, VAT, transfer prices, ….
This providing our clients with a full picture how the future supply chain concept should look like and how and under what prerequisites it should be implemented.
