Many improvement efforts simply shift costs within the distribution network. Modalgistics uses
proven methodologies and industry leading tools to design optimal supply chain networks.
From single-facility inbound and/or outbound flow optimization to multi-facility, enterprise-wide
studies, Modalgistics typically identifies savings opportunities of 5% to 12%.
The normal Modalgistics modeling exercise requires close interaction between our staff
and your distribution experts. Great care is taken to define the scope of the study, the
strategic questions to answer, and the data necessary. As data is collected and prepared
for modeling, the team will meet to clarify and document any assumptions. A baseline model
will be generated and validated against your historical data. Scenarios will be developed,
run, and the results will be provided in a detailed report.
Scenarios are intended to evaluate strategic network changes such as mergers and acquisitions,
distribution network design, plant production changes, and disaster recovery/business continuance
planning. In addition to evaluating the above strategic changes, modeling allows analysis that
measures the impact of practical business decisions on your supply chain.
