Over time, a business will find that its supply chain, logistics, or distribution
network design falls out of alignment with its customer base and market share.
Well! That’s partly true, because in many cases management teams don’t
notice the subtle drift between a business’ needs and the suitability of its
distribution network to meet them effectively.

Meanwhile, the disparity gradually creates, or exacerbates, issues such as:

• Network costs
• Service lead times
• Product losses or damage
• Excessive inventory investment
• Product availability

Could your enterprise be suffering the slow strangulation of an out-of-date

distribution network design? If you haven’t reviewed the network for a while, it
certainly could be.

If a network design is long overdue in your enterprise, the longer you delay it, the
more likely it is that your distribution system will be carrying unnecessary costs,
whether financial or in terms of service and efficiency.

To ensure true optimisation, you will first need to carry out a modeling exercise,
preferably covering the supply chain from factory to customer, incorporating data
relating to:

• Customer locations

• Order sizes and delivery frequencies

• Transport costs

• Transport vehicle types

• Transport modes

• Warehouse or distribution centre size, location(s), resources, costs

• Service level requirements

• Factory and supplier locations

• Ports of entry for imported products

The above list is not exhaustive, and it’s likely you will have many more variables
to include in your distribution network model. You’ll then need to model various
scenarios to determine what changes you should make in your network, and how
to make them.

Alternatively, you could let our team of distribution network design

consultants do all this for you…

Our nine network design consultants specialise in reviewing, modelling and

realigning distribution, logistics, and entire supply chain networks. We’ll help you
get your network on track quickly and effectively, in turn providing your business
with:

• A reduction in distribution costs

• A deeper understanding of customer-service needs and options

• Greater awareness of your service costs

If you’re in a hurry and just want to test some network options at a high level,
our fast-track modelling service will only require you to supply demand data
and customer locations.

It’s a low-cost, rapid, software-driven solution to provide network insights and

enable comparative decision making if a comprehensive modelling project is not
feasible for your business to undertake.
