Through this process we help you determine the optimal infrastructure plan to support your business operations including critical decisions related to:

• plant, warehouse and distribution center locations and utilization
• the capacity that should be available at each of these locations
• the transportation modes and lanes that should be used to move product through your network
• which customers should be served from each facility and by which modes of transportation
• when is expansion of capacity needed and where and how it should occur
• when merging business or operations across subsidiaries, which facilities should be used and at what levels, and which ones should be closed

Once we have completed your network plan, you will have a clear roadmap for aligning your supply chain to your business needs - a plan that that will guide your business processes for years to come. We use advanced mathematical optimization techniques to ensure that your plan:

• Minimizes your total supply chain costs, including transportation, manufacturing, inventory and raw material supply
• Maximizes your organization's customer service potential
• Improves profitability by identifying how to service your customer demand through your Supply Chain network
• Avoids or delays capital investments by maximizing the utilization of your existing assets and minimizes enterprise capital expense by ensuring that capacity investments are targeted for the right place at the right time
• Minimizes excess infrastructure and realizes synergistic opportunities when merging discrete business operations
