Supply Chain Design for the next decade: Redesign today to meet tomorrow’s needs

In the not-so-distant past, supply chain design seemed simpler. Deliveries went to predictable locations, supply networks were stable, and for the most part, delivery windows were generous. That’s history.

The shutdown of the global economy in the spring of 2020 unleashed a tsunami of e-commerce orders and pent-up demand. Add to that political disruptions, tariffs, shortages of people, assets, resources and supplies and manufacturers, retailers and wholesalers are rethinking what happens inside their facilities, as well as where distribution and order fulfillment activities take place to better serve the customer.

It’s clearly time for a supply chain re-design to optimize the supply chain for tomorrow’s customers.

In this webinar, Bryan Jensen, chairman and executive vice president of the consulting firm St. Onge, discusses the trends impacting supply chains and strategies for optimizing your network. These will include:

• Different approaches to distribution centers, including combination centers, dedicated centers, last-mile delivery centers and hybrid approaches ….
• An overview of the tools available to optimize processes inside the four walls of the DC ….
• The decisions involved in network design and the placement of fulfillment centers ….
• Strategies to optimize inventory allocation ….
