An optimal supply mix would involve determining the proportion of each vendor that should be used to meet the needs of the business. This can be achieved through multi-criteria optimization, where the selected optimal supply chain fulfills a set of predefined criteria.
Your company may need to source raw materials from multiple vendors to produce its products. In this case, we will determine the optimal mix of vendors to use, taking into account factors such as cost, quality, reliability, and delivery times.
Similarly, your company may need to outsource certain services, such as logistics or manufacturing, to multiple vendors. We will determine the optimal mix of vendors to use based on optimising factors.
Design of returnable packaging is important to ensure that it can withstand the rough handling of a typical logistics system. In most cases, returnable packaging is designed to be collapsible, in order to reduce costs for return shipments.
We design the packaging to be easily reusable without impairment of its protective function. This may involve designing the packaging to be collapsible or stackable to reduce costs for return shipments.
A returnable packaging solution is usually combined with customized primary packaging to secure and protect the goods.. We involve designs using foam inserts, dividers, or other protective materials.
Returnable packaging provides cost savings, environmental benefits, improved efficiency, increased durability, and customization. By reusing packaging, businesses can reduce their environmental footprint, minimize waste, and reduce costs per shipment compared to single-use packaging.
Optimizing supply frequency involves determining the best schedule for delivering goods to customers or purchasing goods from vendors. The goal is to minimize the total cost of transportation and inventory while satisfying customer service requirements and meeting time-varying demand.
There are several factors to consider when optimizing supply frequency, including the cost of holding inventory, the cost of transportation, and the ability to meet customer demand in a timely manner. By analyzing these factors, businesses can determine the optimal frequency of deliveries to minimize costs and maximize customer satisfaction.
One of the primary challenges associated with optimizing delivery frequency is determining the optimal delivery interval. The ideal delivery frequency will depend on various factors, including the type of goods or services being delivered, the delivery location, the size and weight of the goods, and the customer’s delivery expectations. Additionally, traffic and road conditions, weather, and other external factors must also be considered when determining the optimal delivery interval.
We deign and implement scheduling solutions that offer flexible delivery schedules. And can work with suppliers to negotiate better shipping rates, which can help reduce transportation costs.
