Supply Chain Network Optimization

Supply chain networks are complex structures, consisting of many different flows between numerous suppliers and customer points. The optimization of such a network provides a better understanding of the structure, its reorganization for efficient management, and significant cost savings that would not be possible otherwise.

A company's logistics network includes the location of all its facilities and all the relationships between these locations. Facilities should not be understood only as the company's factories and warehouses, but also the locations of suppliers and customers, and even the facilities of logistics service providers. All these nodes are connected to each other by different transportation modes.

Ideally, logistics networks are optimized as a whole. However, it is also beneficial to focus on only a part of the network; for example, only the flows to customers, between factories and warehouses, or only from suppliers to factories can be examined on their own. The following questions are usually answered:

• How can the design of our distribution network be improved to include new customer groups or new export markets?
• How can we optimize our production footprint? Which product should be produced in which facility with what capacity production line?
• How can we ensure that our purchasing network provides material supply security at optimum cost?

Dijitalis has all the necessary methods, tools, and experience to untangle and design the optimum new network for complex networks that have become a mess.

We use proven methods and tools when dealing with network optimization projects.

When optimizing a network at Dijitalis, we always focus on what your customers want first. We then collect different data sets through templates to facilitate the subsequent modeling work. The collected data is visualized and prepared for the mutual validation process. The validated data is modeled on the Supply Chain Guru platform, which is the world's most preferred and leading technology in this field. This platform allows us to handle all the complexity with all its data without the need to reduce the problem and to do a lot of work without worrying about the time it takes to solve the optimization scenarios.

Dijitalis has gained experience in optimizing a wide range of networks, from production facilities to retail giants and leading 3PL companies in the industry. The services we provide to our valued customers can be divided into three main groups:

• Providing one-off project consultancy before an important decision
• Preparing companies to do their own work through the Supply Chain Guru platform
• Taking over the process as an out-source and providing this service to our customers periodically

Using its extensive project experience and the best technology in the field, Dijitalis enables you to achieve the following results:

• Providing significant improvements in customer service levels and up to savings in annual logistics expenses with the redesign of the logistics network
• Understanding the unpredictable nature of complex networks in detail by company managers and creating a permanent know-how
• Bringing out the potential to create synergy with suppliers and logistics service providers
• Being able to respond quickly to the dynamic conditions of business life and establishing an infrastructure that can carry out such studies more quickly.**
