Workshop Overview
This workshop will explore how Supply Chain Strategy & Network Design supports the overall business strategy & the customer value proposition. Analysts claim that 80% of supply chain cost is predetermined in the design of the product and supply chain network. Given the significant business impact driven by such a fundamental decision as how a supply chain is designed, this program aims to equip the participants with the concepts, knowledge, and tools to revisit their supply chain network design decisions to ensure that they optimally balance the various costs involved in providing the level of customer service required by the overall business strategy.
Supply chain network design is the practice of locating and rationalizing the facilities within the supply chain, determining the capacity of these facilities, determining how to source demand through the network and selecting modes of transportation in a manner that provides the required level of customer service at the lowest cost.
Workshop Objectives
- Educate in the principles of network design, resource sizing and network optimization.
- Provide a “how to” framework for their application.
- Understand the impacts of network design on meeting the customer service objectives.
- Explore the pros & cons of different network models.
- Discuss successful examples of effectively designed networks.
- Identify opportunities for participants to apply the knowledge they have gained in the course within their organizations.
Learning Outcomes:
- Understand how reducing the costs in a given network depending on the constraints placed on the network, can provide companies with expected savings over their supply chain networks in the range of 5 -15%
- Learn how improving your customer service offering by better locating facilities and inventory across the network, companies can expect to see improvements in both their customer service levels and against their market service offering
