Network Design
Use cases and resources for network optimization, facility planning, and supply chain network design.
Consolidate Distribution Centers
Optimize your network by consolidating redundant facilities. Learn how to identify consolidation opportunities, maintain service levels, and realize significant cost savings.
New Facility (Expansion)
Optimize multi-million dollar facility investments: Model expansion scenarios to determine optimal location, size, and timing for new distribution centers. Make data-driven decisions that reduce total network costs while improving service levels.
M&A Synergies
Post-merger network integration guide. Learn how to consolidate overlapping facilities, realize significant cost synergies, and maintain service during integration.
Lane Consolidation

Inventory Modeling
Individual use cases for inventory optimization scenarios. Each use case includes detailed analysis, ROI calculations, and implementation guidance.
Safety Stock Optimization
Monthly safety stock review: Automatically recalculate optimal safety stock for each SKU based on demand variability and supplier performance. Replace 'keep 2 weeks' rules with data-driven calculations to reduce inventory while cutting stockouts by 50-70%.
Peak Planning
Quarterly peak planning: 3-6 months before peak seasons, model demand scenarios and optimize inventory levels. Right-size peak inventory and know when to add 3PL capacity to reduce markdowns and excess inventory by 30-50% while avoiding stockouts.
Purchase Method Optimization
Monthly purchase method review: Analyze SKU categories to determine optimal purchasing methods (JIT for fast movers, bulk for stable demand, VMI for strategic items). Balance ordering costs, holding costs, and volume discounts to reduce total procurement costs.
Multi-Echelon Inventory Optimization
Quarterly multi-echelon review: Coordinate inventory levels across warehouses, distribution centers, and retail locations. Optimize safety stock and replenishment across the entire network to reduce total inventory investment while maintaining service at every location.
