Effective Supply Chain Network Design and Planning

Overcoming supply chain management challenges in 2022 and beyond will take alternative approaches, forcing organizations to become more agile than ever before.

In this informative session, we’ll discuss how to optimize cost by balancing trade-offs across sourcing, manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution. We will also cover ways to collaborate over geographic and organizational boundaries by sharing scenario analyses. We are drawing from decades of experience serving global logistics enterprises, including 3 of Gartner’s Top 7 2021 Supply Chain Companies.

Additionally, we’ll demonstrate how firms can:

• Bring judgment into existing scenarios by quickly cloning and editing them
• Centralize models and hand off derivations to planners with control and security
• Scale and run larger models while simultaneously parallelizing solves, saving time and improving speed-to-results
• Boost collaboration between teams working on the same model, whether they’re across the building…or across the world
• Customize a solution by broadening access to the underlying UI and optimization model
• Create global deployments with 10s or 100s of planners
