Supply Chain Design System - 7thmileshift

supply chain system design​

Supply chain system design is a process that outlines and optimizes the structure, network, and policies of a supply chain. It involves the selection and management of partners, locations, products, transportation, and information systems.. It aims to balance and improve costs, service, speed, and risk in bringing goods to market.

To design a supply chain system, various tools and techniques are used, such as data collection and analysis, mathematical modeling and optimization, simulation and scenario analysis, geographic information systems (GIS) and spatial analysis, and stakeholder engagement and collaboration.

what do we do?

Supply chain strategy is a long-term plan that involves designing and coordinating the flow of goods and services from suppliers to customers, including procurement, production, transportation, and distribution. It helps the company to align its supply chain processes, technologies, and partnerships with its strategic objectives and customer needs. It also helps the company to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of its supply chain, as well as to increase its resilience and agility in the face of changing market conditions and disruptions

Some of the factors that we consider when developing supply chain strategy are:

  • business and political environment in which it operates
  • business model and value proposition that it offers to its customers
  • desired outcomes and performance metrics that it wants to achieve
  • social, behavioral, and physical/structural design elements that define its supply chain
  • inventory, transportation, capacity, and technology decisions that are used to implement its supply chain

Location optimisation for supply chain facilities is a strategic decision problem that involves determining the best locations and capacities of facilities such as warehouses or factories, and assigning customers or demand points to these facilities in order to maximise profit or minimise costs.

It also considers the design of the distribution network and the transportation modes between facilities and customers.

We can help you optimise your facility locations and capacities to maximise your profit and customer satisfaction. We can also design your distribution network and transportation modes to ensure efficiency and reliability.
