Supply chain design is about deploying assets and allocating resources in ways that enhance profitability and shareholder value. A successful design strategy will open the doors to the most significant cost reduction opportunities in your operation. On the flip side, a poor design will hinder your tactical or operational efforts to improve profitability.

A good quality supply chain model will help identify the most cost-effective configuration and related product flows subject to those physical restrictions, risks, business rules and policies that constrain and drive decision making in your organization.

For us, "Good quality" means two things: a model that can consistently generate valid and sound recommendations, and doing so without taxing its users with hours upon hours of data manipulation and related 'behind the scenes' tasks. That is why we do not offer an out-of-the-box product, and rely on Opti-Net^TM, our planning and optimization development platform, to implement models and solutions tailored to reflect your specific needs and data environment.

We have applied tailored versions of Opti-Net^TM extensively to model and optimize a wide variety of networks, each one with its unique features and specific needs. The same approach and modeling concepts have been used in a variety of topics, as outlined below.
