Transport Time Variability Transport Time Variability Transport Time Variability $ $ $ $ Finished Goods Holding Costs Safety Stock Optimization Sourcing Variability Production Variability Demand Variability Multi-Echelon Safety Stock Optimization Increasing OTIF to 97% increases working capital by 14% while Decreasing OTIF to 93% decreases working capital by 10% Demand & Lead Time Profiling Key Benefits and Usage • Multi-Echelon Safety Stock optimization allows the model to achieve savings in working capital while simultaneously maintaining or increasing service level to stores • Scientifically quantify cost or benefits of service level, sourcing, and contractual lead time agreement changes. • Combine with network optimization to set optimal inventory planning policies. ie Reorder point, order quantities by site by product • Model can automatically profile historical sales data or use forecast and forecast error as inputs • IO Select functionality allows automated filtering of products with non-normally distribution demand
Service Based Optimization Service Based Greenfield Formulation 1 Day service increases by 38% from baseline with Center of Gravity Analysis. It further increases by 5% when Service Based GF Analysis is applied Center of Gravity Greenfield Formulation Key Benefits and Usage • Depending on the objective, Greenfield analysis can either be performed using Center of Gravity or Service Based methods • Service Based Optimization allows the model to decide “How Many?” And “Where?” given customer locations and service requirements. • Service Based Optimization can provide a strategic advantage from a service lead time perspective. The objective is to cover the most number of customers using the fewest number of distribution points within a defined set of service goals. • Center of Gravity Formulation solves the “Where?” question given customer locations, demand volumes and number of DCs as inputs. • The Center of Gravity method can often yield the lowest cost solutions from a freight perspective. It is often utilized for completely realigning the current footprint or identifying the next best location to setup a facility.
Sales & Operations Planning Sales & Operations Planning Pre-Position Pre-Build Demand
Business Continuity Planning Facility Outage Simulation Baseline Sourcing Pattern Huanghua DC shut down increases freight spend by 2% while service distance increases by 7% Business Continuity Plan Predict & Visualize Operational Impacts with Discrete Event Simulation Storage Capacity Limit Reached Stock Out
Risk Management Commodity Pricing Shocks Baseline Sourcing Pattern At 180% increase in fuel price, freight spend justifies setting up operations locally for sourcing SUPPLIER INBOUND LANES SUPPLIER INBOUND LANES WRDC TO DC TRANSER LANES WRDC TO DC TRANSER LANES Business Continuity Plan Key Benefits and Usage • Pre-plan supply chain responses in response to various risks in supply, demand, weather and geo-political events. • Identify optimal alternate suppliers, carriers, production sites, distribution paths, etc. prior to supply chain risk events occurring • Understand the impact to capital expenditures, operating expenses and service to customers • Combine optimal designs with discrete event simulation to predict and anticipate impact to daily operations • Model varying lengths of risks for different supply chain responses
Sustainability Optimization Baseline GHG Network Profile STANDARD NON-GREEN CARRIER STANDARD NON-GREEN CARRIER REDUCED EMMISSIONS CARRIER REDUCED EMMISSIONS CARRIER 35% GHG Reduction Network Profile Key Benefits and Usage • Quantify financial benefit or costs of achieving sustainability goals • Built in published emission factors accurately models and outputs emissions from various forms of transportation • Optionally, carbon offsets are calculated as a part of the profit and loss calculations • Fees and duties as a result of non-green equipment/facility usage can be incorporated into the overall profit and loss calculations • Ramp up of sustainability efforts can be modeled as a multi-year green house gas reduction initiative
Tax/Duties Optimization Optimized Network without Tax Considerations Tax Efficient Network Key Benefits and Usage • Optimize network with tax/duties considerations • Apply tax/duties/tariffs based on transfer pricing across regions • Calculate tax/duties/tariffs based on revenue • Calculate tax/duties/tariffs based on import/export arrangements • Capture region specific product standard cost based on production cost and exchange rate differences • Determine tax/duties/tariffs based on region to region movements • Account for tax/duties/tariffs based on invoicing locations
Freshness Considerations Baseline Sourcing Pattern Key Benefits and Usage • Production with freshness – what if’s to optimize production lot size against probability of dumping • Product flow contingency planning with freshness – flow paths that minimize freight, inventory and spoilage costs • Inventory planning with freshness – minimize inventory with respect to shelf life, service level agreements and production constraints • Ability to track to true age of productions • Minimize obsolescence and cost write downs for high turn-over items (ie fashion, electronics)
