Supply Chain Network Design

Historically, network re-design initiatives were performed every 1 to 3 years to help a company realign its warehouse and factory locations and minimize transportation costs. Network design projects could take 4-6 months or longer, and model accuracy was limited by the need to limit the number of products and sites.

Today, under LLamasoft’s leadership, Network Design has a whole new application and relevance. Supply Chain Network Design projects can often be accomplished in weeks or less. Models are often run at the SKU level, with multiple time periods, and entire end-to-end supply chains are evaluated and optimized. Supply Chain Guru® can evaluate network structure, supply chain policies, and integrated operations to optimize the trade-off of cost, time, and capacity in the network


Network Design is now an essential and continual process of evaluating strategic options and navigating the volatile global marketplace. LLamasoft’s Network Design Solution offers multiple options for harnessing ROI and value from supply chain excellence:

A major North American retailer with significant online business to go with their traditional storefront model. As the demand patterns continue to shift to different regions and market segments, the company is using LLamasoft's Network Design solution to evaluate the network requirements, especially site locations and transportation strategies over a 3-5 year time horizon. A global packaged food producer with over a dozen production locations was running out of production capacity and their distribution to customer alignment was no longer optimal. LLamasoft’s network design solution was adopted by the supply chain team to determine the best location for new production facilities and to realign their customer distribution network.
