Comprehensive Cost-to-Serve Visibility Across the Supply Chain

Managing an expansive network of suppliers, production centers, distribution centers (DCs), and customer locations presents significant challenges, especially when it comes to tracking product flow with precision. Traditional methods often fall short in providing detailed insights into what product went where and how it moved through the supply chain. With Anylogistix, businesses can achieve comprehensive cost-to-serve visibility that allows them to track: 

  • Where a product was produced
  • The cost of production
  • Transportation means and locations for every leg of the journey
  • The cost of transportation
  • The specific client to whom the product was delivered

This level of detail is essential for optimizing supply chain performance and making informed decisions.

 

Understanding and Comparing Scenarios

The ability to compare the current state of the supply chain with optimized scenarios generated by the Network Optimization (NO) model is a game-changer. For instance, by focusing on the top 10 most profitable products, decision-makers can analyze where these products were produced and shipped before and after the NO exercise. This comparison helps in:

Such analysis ensures that the entire network is optimized rather than just individual lanes, leading to more strategic and informed decisions.

Case Study: Maximizing Profitability with Network Optimization

Consider a scenario where a company evaluates its top 10 products. Post-NO analysis might reveal that these products have become more profitable due to optimized production and distribution strategies. However, to truly understand the impact, it's essential to delve deeper into the data. By examining each leg of the supply chain, from production to final delivery, Anylogistix enables businesses to:

  • Validate the effectiveness of NO decisions
  • Identify potential areas for further improvement
  • Ensure that the entire supply chain network operates at peak efficiency

For example, if Product A was previously produced in Facility X and shipped via Route Y, but post-NO, it is now produced in Facility Z and shipped via Route W, decision-makers can analyze the cost-benefit of this shift. They can engage with SMEs to confirm the validity and potential of these changes, ensuring alignment with overall business objectives.
