Our Methodology
for Supply Chain Network Design and Footprint Optimization
The process starts with an assessment to identify the KPIs and processes that would drive supply chain network design and footprint optimization. Once identified, as-is and to-be process models are built, including aligning all the stakeholders about the impact on their areas. And the changes that need to be made with processes, data, and systems to recalibrate planning.
1 Assessment
This phase starts with as-is and to-be process models, as well as digging into the current issues aligned with the goals of supply chain network design and footprint optimization. This phase also proposes several options and their pros and cons, along with the business case. An option that is least financially and technically risky is chosen for the next step.
3Implementation
This step implements the changes identified, whether they are going to be system, process, or data related. This phase could be divided into multiple phases and milestones depending upon the complexity of each change, including the identification of KPIs and how the changes would be measured after each step.
2Business Process and Technical Analysis
This step is a deeper dive into the chosen options and tracing processes and data related to supply chain network design and footprint optimization. This step also performs buy vs. build analysis if system changes might be required to achieve the profitability goals.
4Adoption and Optimization
Post implementation, this step helps in gathering feedback from the users if the initiative is aligned with their expectations, as well as whether the new supply chain network design and footprint optimization techniques have helped them hit their KPIs.This phase iterates until the stakeholders confirm the results of the new changes.
