Are you currently experiencing any of the following?
- Price and margin erosion
- Soaring logistics costs
- Increasingly shorter product life cycles
- Inaccurate forecasting due to customer demand for multiple product variations
The proliferation of product innovation and personalization are driving change in supply chain strategies. Typical “push” based distribution strategies—which rely heavily on the sales forecast to drive production volume—neglect the demand side of the value chain. Sensing demand accurately is difficult enough, but when combined with the recent acute rise in oil prices (a trend that shows no signs of stopping), maintaining a cost-effective, sustainable supply chain has become more challenging than ever.
This webcast will present leading perspectives on how to achieve an optimal performing supply chain that is flexible enough to meet sudden shifts in demand and mitigates the associated risks, while remaining cost-effective and efficient.
You will also get the chance to see a demonstration of a Network Optimization and Simulation Service that analyzes a supply chain and offers various design models to optimize it for cost, profit, revenue, lead time, or a customized mix of these priorities.
