Manufacturers continue to face heavy competition from global companies with complex resources and low cost outsourcing. It is essential to monitor and optimize all facets of the manufacturing process to squeeze every aspect of profitability out of the production costs. Manufacturing operations and supply chain inventory must be managed with discipline to minimize stock while meeting production requirements and timing constraints. The bullwhip effect often becomes a major contributor to this challenge. Producers need to manage challenges connected to it and the problems it creates identifying the cause of demand changes and find ways to minimize adverse effects.
Distributors who have many suppliers and customers are constantly challenged with finding the optimal balance between demand fulfillment & service level with cost & capacity. In addition to inventory, sourcing and transportation policies, distribution center efficiency is greatly dependent on internal organizational business processes and resource availability (staff, forklift trucks, etc.). Easily capture and model all of this with anyLogistix.
Retail is a fast-paced industry where margins are slim and competition is fierce. For companies to be successful, they must continuously improve processes to decrease costs while meeting customers’ expectations to satisfy delivery time, availability, terms and price. The supply chain is the core of retail business and its success directly depends on how effective and efficient it runs.
