Network Optimisation

Network optimisation can assist a business trying to address strategic network issues. Network modelling tools and centre of gravity analysis can be used to assess consolidation opportunities within the existing network, the impact of mergers or acquisitions and potential synergies, and the impact of outsourcing operations in the existing network.

Our optimisation modelling can assist in addressing the continuous demands to change or adapt supply chain and logistics environments and enable our supply chain and logistics practitioners to evaluate current asset utilisation, efficiency and deployment of assets within your network and to recommend options to improve these which in turn will maximise your working capital returns.

Network modelling enables other factors such as operational constraints, management and performance of assets, and repair expenses, to be taken into consideration.

Benefits to businesses of network optimisation modelling includes reduced:

  • Inventory holding
  • Total operating costs
  • Transportation costs
  • Working capital
  • Administration costs

    • whilst it improves Customer Service and operational performance.
