SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables organisations to design and compare supply chain network configurations, translating complex topology choices into actionable insights for site placement, inventory policy, and transport planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scenario-based network design for DC placement, nearshoring/reshoring, and consolidation.
  • Compare status quo vs alternative networks with cost, service level, and carbon analysis.
  • Integrate with ERP/TMS data sources and run multiple scenarios for decision support.

Quick Start

Ask the AI to run a scenario analysis comparing the current UK network against an additional EU distribution centre option.

FAQPage Schema
How do I compare distribution center placement options for my supply chain network?

Run scenario analysis to compare distribution center placement options against your current network. The skill evaluates multiple warehouse locations and routing configurations, generating actionable outputs including cost comparisons, transit times, service levels, and recommended next steps for network optimization.

What is the best way to analyze nearshoring or reshoring impacts on logistics costs and service levels?

Analyze nearshoring and reshoring impacts by applying scenario-based network design to compare alternative supply chain configurations. This evaluates explicit cost, service level, and carbon footprint considerations, translating complex topology choices into actionable inventory and transport planning insights.

Can I calculate carbon footprint and service levels when comparing supply chain scenarios?

Yes, calculate carbon footprint and service levels when comparing supply chain scenarios. The network design process explicitly incorporates cost, service level, and carbon considerations alongside transit times to provide comprehensive decision support for logistics optimization.

Does this network design approach support make-vs-buy decisions and ERP data integration?

Yes, this network design approach supports make-vs-buy decisions and integrates with ERP and TMS data sources. Run multiple scenarios using existing system data to model determinism and generate actionable outputs for site placement, inventory policy, and transport planning.

How do I evaluate warehouse consolidation options for my current distribution network?

Evaluate warehouse consolidation options by comparing your status quo network against alternative distribution center configurations. Scenario analysis models cost, service levels, and carbon considerations, providing actionable outputs and recommended next steps to determine if consolidation optimizes your supply chain.
