Supply Chain Designer
Engineer the smartest way to move products from source to market.
Instead of routing shipments individually, the Supply Chain Designer calculates how much of each product should flow through which suppliers, warehouses and customers, in turn, balancing supply, demand, capacity and cost to design the most efficient network.
What it is
- Optimization engine that matches supply and demand across suppliers, factories, warehouses and customers.
- Treats every location as a cost + capacity decision point, fixed or optional.
- Considers transport, processing, storage and penalties, including product-specific routing rules.
What it delivers
- Cost-optimal sourcing and fulfillment recommendations for every product and customer.
- Clear visibility into which locations should carry volume, and where some limits apply.
- Scenario-ready models that enforce real-world constraints and adapt to supply, demand or cost shifts.
What are the benefits
- Reduce total landed cost while keeping customers supplied.
- Avoid bottlenecks by exposing hidden constraints early.
- Replace manual rules with consistent, data-driven allocation.
- Give planners fast, confident answers when conditions change.
