  Study of exiting logistics and manufacturing constraints and develop distribution network to optimize resources while improving product availability  
 
 

Featured Case Study

  Client wanted to evaluate if their exiting number and location of warehouses were optimal. They are using 13 warehouses to meet customer demand.

       
 

Problem Statement

 
  Client:Second to market leader in Indonesia

To determine how many warehouses are required and where these should be located to minimize total cost of operations and meet the desired service level.
 
     
 

Approach

 
 
  • Mapping of existing distribution system, warehouse model & service level expectations
  • Capturing information regarding potential warehouse locations, different modes of distribution, transportation cost, manufacturing cost, warehousing fixed and variable cost, production constraints, transportation constraints etc.
  • Building mathematical model for network design
  • Scenario analysis was done in order to answer specific client questions
 
     
 

Recommendations/Solution

 

Benefits

 
 
  • To minimize ‘cost-to-serve’, the company should have 6 HUB Warehouses i.e. reduction of warehouses from 13 to 6.
  • HUB Warehouses are supplied by 40/48 T trucks i.e. goods travel long distance by bigger truck size reducing the cost/T/km.
  The immediate benefits included saving of USD 3.75 Mn p.a.
